The Bootlegger

You'll find yourself on Fore Street pushing through heavy doors into a dimly lit space that takes its speakeasy inspiration seriously—think dark wood, low lighting, and the kind of bar that makes you feel like you're in on something. The cocktails here aren't mucking about: they're built with proper technique and quality spirits, and the bartenders actually know what they're doing rather than just flinging bottles about. It's the sort of place where locals come back repeatedly because the drinks justify the journey, whether you're after a classic Negroni or something more experimental.
