Jock’s Cavern

Sadie Pearson

High quality cocktails and vibrant live music is what makes Jocks Cavern so popular. Situated under Buffalo Bobs restaurant, this underground bar offers an intimate and effervescent atmosphere to indulge in their well-stocked bar. Named after local mining legend Jack Atkinson, look out for the Glayva Liqueur bottle on display as a tribute to this local hero – as this was the last bottle he ever bought!
