Collected Fictions

You'll find yourself on London Road in St Leonards, ducking into a space that feels like someone's actually thought about how a bar should breathe. Collected Fictions isn't trying to be anything other than exactly what it is: a place where the drinks menu gets as much care as the atmosphere. The kind of bar where you can sit with a proper cocktail, not some fluorescent nightclub nonsense, and actually hear the person next to you. It's become the sort of place locals recommend without being asked, which says everything about how they've nailed the balance between approachable and considered.
