Now gone - is a Middle Eastern restaurant now called Mangal.
From 2008:
A nice conversion of the old Bar Ha Ha that stood on this site, I do rather like the inside. It's a lot less frenetic and shouty than before. More relaxed and with an emphasis on food if that’s your thing and would be a good place to take the lady for a bit of sophistication.
However the beer (2 handpulls of Pride and Caledonian IPA) is often rancid or not even on - and when it is they insist on serving the Pride through a sparkler so clearly not much knowledge of what they're serving.
