Food and drink 

A bar/restaurant is located within the venue. Independently run Duncan’s Bar and Bistro offers a great selection of meals, snacks and drinks to enjoy before and after performances.

Some of our shows and events can be busy, so we would recommend that you consider pre–ordering your refreshments before the show begins. Just complete a pre-order form, pay at the bar and your drinks will be left in the foyer at the interval.

There is a good selection of other eating options nearby including The Ship Inn (Irvine’s oldest bar), GRO café who serve great cakes all day & pizza every evening and Niche with a continental inspired menu.
