Buffalo

Head down to Wimborne Road and you'll find Buffalo tucked among the local haunts that actually know what they're doing. It's the kind of place where you can rock up for a weeknight drink and end up staying longer than planned, partly because the cocktails are genuinely well-made and partly because the atmosphere just works. There's telly on the walls for the match, sure, but it never feels like a soulless sports bar—more like your mates' living room if your mates had decent taste and knew how to pour a drink. The food's straightforward and hits the spot, whether you're after something substantial or just grazing whilst you're on your second round.
