Quayside Bar & Grill

You're walking into a room that actually makes use of its location — floor-to-ceiling windows facing the water, the kind of view that makes you remember why the Docks have had a bit of a glow-up. The Quayside sits within Apex Hotels, which means the fit-out is smart and contemporary without trying too hard. It's the sort of place where you can bring your mum for her birthday, take a date without it feeling try-hard, or just grab a decent steak after work and actually enjoy it. The menu leans into Scottish beef and whatever's come in fresh from the North Sea, cooked with restraint rather than flash. Service is attentive without hovering.
