33 The Rum Bar

You'll find yourself on Prestbury Road in a place that's clearly run by people who actually care about what they're pouring. 33 The Rum Bar doesn't shout about itself—there's no neon sign trying to grab your attention—but once you're through the door, you realise you've landed somewhere proper. The focus here is rum, specifically: they've got a collection that goes well beyond the usual suspects, and the bartenders know their stuff without being pretentious about it. It's the kind of place where locals prop up the bar on a Tuesday night and regulars get remembered, but there's always room for newcomers who want something better than a chain cocktail.
