Cantina del Barrio

You'll find yourself on Bath Road, that stretch between the town centre and Pittville where things get properly interesting. Walk in and there's an immediate sense of theatre: dark wood, warm lighting, the kind of place that feels lived-in rather than designed by committee. The menu reads like someone's actually been to Spain and knows what matters—this isn't tapas for people who've never been to Spain. The cocktails are serious business too, made with actual technique rather than just throwing spirits at ice.
