Vine Street Tap + Bottle

You'll find yourself on one of the North Laine's best-kept stretches, where Vine Street Tap + Bottle sits with the kind of low-key confidence that makes locals keep coming back. Inside, it's all exposed brick and carefully curated taps—the sort of place where the person behind the bar can talk you through a Belgian tripel or a funky orange wine without making you feel like you've walked into a lecture. The real magic is in the curation: they're clearly obsessed with finding interesting stuff, whether that's small-batch IPAs from Sussex breweries or natural wines that taste like they came from someone's garage (in the best way).
