EN Steak & Cocktail Bar Hereford

You're walking through The Old Market on Garrick Lane and suddenly you're somewhere that feels properly grown-up without being stuffy about it. EN does steaks the way they should be done—good cuts, cooked right, no faffing about with fancy reductions you don't need. The cocktail list is taken seriously here, which makes a difference when you're in Hereford and used to the usual suspects. It's become the sort of place where locals actually want to spend money, where the room hums with conversation rather than piped music, and where you can dress up or dress down depending on your mood. The setting in that converted Old Market space gives it a bit of character that chain restaurants just can't manufacture.
