PAL Bar and Kitchen

You'll find PAL tucked into Abbeygate, where the bar team take their craft seriously without being insufferable about it. The space itself feels refined but approachable—the kind of place you can dress up for but won't feel out of place in jeans. They're doing the cocktail thing properly, with drinks that taste like someone's thought them through, paired with a kitchen that clearly understands flavour. It's become the sort of spot locals actually return to, not just tourists after a night out, which tells you something about consistency.
