Bloom Bar

You're on North Pier, sea air hitting your face, and you duck into Bloom—suddenly you're in a space that feels genuinely thoughtful. Floor-to-ceiling windows mean you're drinking with the Irish Sea as your wallpaper, which never gets old no matter how many times you've walked this stretch. It's the kind of bar that doesn't talk down to you or try too hard; they've just done the basics right: decent drinks, somewhere comfortable to sit that doesn't smell of stale chips, staff who know what they're doing.
