Rattlebag

You'll find Rattlebag tucked into Ann Street in the city centre, just the kind of spot that rewards locals who know where to look. It's got that lived-in feeling — not trying too hard, just doing the business of making excellent cocktails and pouring decent spirits with knowledgeable staff who actually chat to you rather than just taking your order. The sort of place where you'll see people nursing single malts alongside carefully constructed cocktails, everyone seeming genuinely into what they're drinking. It's busy enough to feel energetic but never suffers from that forced nightclub vibe. This is where you come when you want a drink done properly.
