Bar Glue

You'll walk past this place twice before you spot it tucked into Anchor Courtyard, but that's half the charm. Inside, it's properly intimate – maybe a dozen seats max – with bartenders who actually care about what they're pouring and remember your order after two visits. The cocktail menu changes regularly but always leans towards the inventive without being wanky about it. Think proper technique meets Liverpool sensibility. They'll make you a perfect Negroni, but they're more excited to talk you through their house creations that actually work. The kind of place where you pop in for one and somehow end up closing it down, not because you're hammered but because the conversation's too good to leave.
