VOYA

Head up North Road towards the station and you'll find yourself in one of those proper neighbourhood spots that actually feels like it's for people who live here, not just passing through. VOYA's got that rare balance—polished enough that you'd bring someone you're trying to impress, but relaxed enough that you'll happily pop in alone for a drink on a Tuesday. The cocktails are taken seriously (they clearly know their way around a bottle), but there's nothing stiff about it. It's the kind of place where the bartenders actually remember regulars and the crowd is genuinely mixed: after-work drinkers, date night couples, groups who've landed here after wandering from The Lanes.
