963Lounge

Walk into 963 and you'll clock immediately why locals rate it so highly—it's got that rare balance of being polished without feeling pretentious. The kind of place where you can dress up for a night out or roll in from work and feel equally at home. Service here genuinely cares; staff know their stuff when it comes to drinks, and they're not the type to make you feel rushed. It's become the go-to on Kenton Road for anyone wanting cocktails that taste like someone actually thought about them, rather than the usual student-bar nonsense.
