The Gadabout

You'll find The Gadabout tucked away on Guildhall Lane, in one of those beautiful period buildings that actually makes you remember Leicester's got some architectural bones. It's the kind of place where the bartenders know what they're doing—they're not muddling fruit with a heavy hand or drowning everything in syrup. The space feels lived-in, intimate without being cramped, and the crowd tends toward people who actually want to taste their drink rather than photograph it. Whether you're after a classic Negroni or something seasonal they've dreamed up, there's a genuine attention to detail here that's refreshing.
