About Number 1

More than just a bar. We're a community.

Our Story

Number 1 opened in 2018 with a simple mission: create a place where people feel at home. Not a nightclub. Not a tourist trap. Just a genuine social bar where locals and travelers alike can relax, play pool, and enjoy great beer.

We started with three pool tables and 50 beers. Today, we have six tables and over 200 beers from around the world. But what hasn't changed is our commitment to being a welcoming space for everyone.

Whether you're here for a quick beer after work, a competitive pool tournament, or to make new friends, Number 1 is your place. Come as a stranger, leave as a regular.
