Ritual Bar

Cocktails done properly in St Leonards, where the bartenders actually know what they're doing and the drinks taste like they cost more than they charge.

You're walking along Marine Court towards the seafront and you spot Ritual—unpretentious from the outside, but step in and you realise this is where people who care about drinks actually come. The bar has that rare quality of feeling both welcoming and competent; no faffing about with gimmicks, just skilled bartenders who can nail a Negroni or suggest something unexpected based on what you actually like. It's become the kind of place where regulars drift in on a Tuesday and locals recommend it to visitors without any fanfare.
