Dragonfly

You'll find yourself down a narrow staircase into something that feels less like a bar and more like someone's thoughtfully curated living room—dim lighting, wood panelling, the kind of place where conversation doesn't get swallowed by bass. The cocktail list reads like it was written by people who've actually worked in proper bars rather than Googled "cocktails," and they're not afraid to riff on classics or build something bespoke if you tell them what you fancy. West Port's seen plenty of venues come and go, but Dragonfly's stuck around because it does the fundamentals brilliantly: quality spirits, technique that matters, and staff who treat you like you're worth their time whether you're ordering a Negroni or asking questions.
