Chinaskis

You're walking into Chinaskis expecting the usual chain vibe, but instead you get a proper neighbourhood spot that takes itself seriously without being a total snob about it. The steaks are the real deal—thick cuts cooked right, nothing fancy but nothing phoned in either. It's the kind of place where you'll see folk in suits next to students, everyone tucking into decent food and strong cocktails. The room's got that warm, lived-in feeling you get on North Street, with enough buzz that you're not sitting in silence but it's not deafening either. Come here when you want something reliable and unfussy, whether that's a Friday night out or a proper dinner that won't disappoint.
