Curve Bar

Head down to Eastgate and you'll find yourself in a proper grown-up space where the cocktails actually know what they're doing. Curve Bar sits within Victoria Gate Casino, so there's an undeniable buzz about the place — punters testing their luck upstairs, but you're here for the drinks. The fit-out is contemporary and polished without being sterile, and the bartenders take their craft seriously. You'll get quality spirits poured with precision, and the sort of attention to detail you don't always find in city-centre bars. It's the kind of spot where you can settle in for a proper night out, whether that's pre-drinks before heading to Calls or a standalone evening of good cocktails and better company.
