Distilled Bar

You'll find Distilled tucked away on Tacket Street, in that part of town where things are actually happening right now. Walk in and you're straight into proper cocktail territory—the kind of place where the bartenders take themselves seriously without being insufferable about it. The drinks are technically sound, the sort that make you realise what you've been drinking elsewhere might've been a bit dodgy. It's got enough of a following that you'll usually find a decent crowd in here, especially weekends, but it never tips into trying-too-hard. This is where you go when you want a Negroni that tastes like it should, not some Instagram-baiting nonsense. The atmosphere strikes that sweet spot between relaxed and proper—you can have a laugh with mates or actually have a conversation.
