  • Since the 1970s, La Maison has been best known for its fashion shows, but these days it also has a small cabaret and a piano bar with comedians and karaoke as well as a club upstairs which can get extremely busy. Downstairs is a little worn but pleasantly low key set in an attractive garden.
    If you want to find where the action is not a bad option in the evening and if cupid strikes you can even get married here the next day in the grounds…
    There are also good weekend matinees, which feature two live sets from Los Kent, one of the first bands to play rock in the island.
