Sotto Lounge Bar

You'll descend into something properly atmospheric here: Sotto trades the bustle of Imperial Square for low ceilings, candlelit corners, and the kind of intimate vibe that makes you actually want to linger over a drink. It's part of the Settebello empire, so expect Italian sensibilities bleeding into the cocktail menu—think aperitivo culture meets proper mixology. The basement setting means you're cocooned away from the Cheltenham hubbub, which suits the sophisticated drinking crowd perfectly. This is where you take someone you want to impress, or yourself when you need a proper night out.
