The Tipple Bar

Head out to Twigworth and you'll find The Tipple Bar doing something increasingly rare: running a bar like a bar should be. It's the kind of place where regulars genuinely know the staff, the drinks list doesn't require a philosophy degree to understand, and you won't be charged £8 for a pint that looks apologetic. The crowd here skews refreshingly unpretentious—locals grabbing an after-work drink, friends catching up properly, people who've chosen this spot because it suits them, not because they're ticking boxes. It's got that comfortable, lived-in feeling you can't manufacture, where the furniture's seen a few nights but that's precisely the point.
