Nor’ Loft

Head up the stairs on Market Street and you've entered somewhere that actually takes itself seriously. Nor' Loft isn't trying to be clever—it's just confident. The space has that upstairs-bar intimacy that makes you feel like you've discovered something before your mates have, all dark wood and considered lighting that doesn't scream trying-too-hard. You'll find yourself nursing a properly made drink surrounded by folk who know what they're ordering, whether that's a classic martini or whatever the bartenders are excited about that week. It's the kind of place where conversation matters more than Instagram-ability.
