You're walking up High Street towards the castle end, and Penny sits right there in the thick of it all. It's the kind of place where the bartenders actually know what they're doing—they're not just muddling fruit and hoping for the best. The space has that cool, unfussy vibe that makes you feel like you've stumbled into somewhere people actually want to be, not somewhere trying too hard. Whether you're after a classic Negroni or something a bit more adventurous, they've got the technique and the quality spirits to back it up. It's become the sort of spot locals recommend to mates visiting from London, which tells you something.
