however if you like to listen to good bands playing in a pub/bar its almost non existent. there's a place called Timbre+ that has a few bands playing, i can't pass full judgement on the quality of the bands playing there having visited it only once.
Agree with the bubble gum part, there are some alternative albeit not enough IMO.
