Son Caney Cuba Bar

You're walking into what used to be The Forge, but Son Caney has completely transformed the space into something that genuinely transports you. The bar's got that warm, slightly dimly-lit vibe where rum and sugarcane are treated with proper respect—this isn't cocktail theatre, it's bartenders who actually know their Cubano history. There's a real energy here, especially later in the evening when the playlist kicks in and the place fills with people who've clearly had a recommendation from someone they trust. The mojitos are the thing—crisp, balanced, not drowned in sugar like you get most places round Brum.
