Obviouzly Armchair Backpackers

Obviouzly Armchair Backpackers is a more recent addition to the Observatory backpacker scene. The building tells its own story - formerly a Barclays Bank (the vault door that forms part of the current bar) then a BP filling station (old pumps still in the back) and finally a theater, before its present state. This place gets kudos for having the best bar in a backpackers - or maybe we should say it's a bar with a backpackers upstairs. There is no real self-catering kitchen, but it is in the middle of Observatory, surrounded by options galore.
