Open Mind

Walk into Open Mind and you'll feel it immediately — this isn't trying to be something it's not. It's the kind of place where the staff actually know what they're talking about when it comes to drinks, but won't make you feel stupid for ordering a gin and tonic. The vibe is relaxed without being lazy, the sort of bar you'd pop into on a Thursday after work and suddenly it's midnight. Located on English Street, it's become the sort of spot locals actually choose rather than just drift into, which says everything.
