Underground within the Galleria del Leone this first opened as a nightclub in 1954 then changed to a billiards room by the Canè family. Many people including some famous Bolognese personalities used to go here. Waning membership, high rent and health and safety are about to see an end to this old haunt.

A Bolognese café bar with a good reputation. It displays many portraits on its walls of past and present clients by the artist Paolo Roversi. Established in 1913 but present owners took control in 1990. Exhibitions are also staged in the back. The aperitivo is well received especially washed down with one of the many famous wines they stock.

The Water Margin
Wednesday, June 7th, 2006
The Water Margin Restaurant is located in a former Presbyterian Church on Donegall Pass. The original roof trusses and columns are painted purple but still present an antique feature to the back drop of Chinese vases and beautiful stain glass windows. A 24 page menu and private rooms with Karaoke has its obvious advantages without being too cheesy.
