Peakys bar

You'll find Peakys hidden away in The Arcade itself, that warren of independent shops and bars that's doing its bit to make the town centre somewhere worth lingering in. It's the kind of place where someone's clearly cared about the details—the sort of bar that doesn't just sling you a vodka and coke, but actually knows what they're doing with a cocktail shaker. The Peaky Blinders theme runs through it, which could be tacky in the wrong hands, but here it just adds a bit of character without trying too hard. It's become the spot locals actually want to go to for a proper night out, not because it's chasing trends, but because the drinks are solid and the crowd's always friendly.
