Lounge

North Street in Southville has changed properly over the past few years, and Lounge sits right in the middle of it all—the kind of place where you can roll in alone or with a crowd and feel equally at home. The space itself is refreshingly unfussy: exposed brick, decent lighting that doesn't make you squint, and enough room to breathe without feeling like you're in a warehouse. You're getting straightforward, well-executed food and a drinks list that leans into what actually tastes good rather than trying too hard. It's become a reliable go-to for the neighbourhood because it does the fundamentals right—decent cocktails, food worth the money, staff who know what they're doing.
