Grindhouse

You're walking down New Briggate and spot Grindhouse tucked into the city centre's most happening street. It's the kind of place where the bartenders actually care about what goes in your glass—whether that's a meticulously crafted cocktail or something rooted in proper technique. The vibe sits somewhere between a neighbourhood coffee spot that transforms come evening and a proper cocktail den, which means you can rock up solo for an afternoon espresso or with mates for something more interesting when the sun goes down. The crowd here isn't trying too hard; they just know what good drinks taste like.
