Small Bar

You'll walk past this twice before spotting the understated frontage on King Street. Inside, it's all exposed brick and candlelit tables, with bartenders who know their mezcal from their mescal and aren't precious about explaining either. The cocktail menu changes seasonally but always leans into proper technique over Instagram-bait garnishes. The natural wine list punches well above its weight, and they're genuinely excited to talk you through the funky Georgian orange or that skin-contact Riesling. Come early evening for the best seats by the window, or squeeze in later when the after-work crowd descends. Either way, you're in for drinks made by people who actually care about what they're pouring.
