Fusion Bar & Cocktail Lounge

You'll find Fusion tucked into New Briggate's drinking strip, where the crowd's a mix of after-work professionals and proper cocktail enthusiasts who've worked out the good spots. It's got that slick-but-not-pretentious energy—dark wood, good lighting, the kind of bar where the staff take their craft seriously but won't make you feel daft asking questions. The drinks list isn't trying too hard; it's just well-executed classics and a few house specials that show they know their way around a shaker. Come early evening if you want to actually hear yourself think, though Friday nights get properly rammed.
