Subside Bar

Head down the stairs on High Street and you've entered proper cocktail territory. Subside's got that understated vibe—dim lighting, knowledgeable bartenders who'll chat while they're building your drink, and a drinks list that rewards curiosity without making you feel out of your depth. It's the kind of place where you can order something classic and it'll be made right, or ask for a recommendation and actually get something you'll want to drink. The crowd's mixed—after-work drinkers, date nights, groups who've heard it's worth the effort. No gimmicks, just solid cocktails at reasonable prices for what you're getting.
