Cactus Bar

You'll find Cactus tucked away on Castle Street in the heart of the city centre, where the bar scene gets properly interesting. It's the kind of place where the staff actually know what they're doing behind the counter—no faffing about with overcomplicating things, just solid cocktails made with care. The vibe is relaxed but engaged; you're not paying through the nose for some Instagrammable nonsense, just getting a proper drink in a space that feels genuinely comfortable. Whether you're heading there after work or making an evening of it, there's something refreshingly unpretentious about the whole operation that makes you want to come back.
