ABode Canterbury

You're stepping into what feels like Canterbury's answer to a proper city hotel bar, tucked inside the boutique ABode right on the High Street. The ground floor pulls a smart crowd who know their way around a cocktail menu, while the buzz from the restaurant next door keeps things lively without being overwhelming. Head upstairs though, and you'll find the real draw - a top floor space that opens onto a terrace with some of the best cathedral views in the city centre. The drinks are properly made, the staff actually know what they're doing, and you're paying boutique hotel prices for boutique hotel quality. It's the sort of place that works equally well for impressing visiting relatives or settling in with a good book on a quiet Tuesday afternoon.
