Goodness Gracious Rooftop Bar + Garden

You climb the stairs expecting another standard rooftop experience, but Goodness Gracious operates on its own peculiar schedule. Open until 7pm sharp every day of the week, this place has carved out a niche for the sensibly-timed drink. Whether that's by design or circumstance, it works brilliantly for afternoon catch-ups and early evening wind-downs. The rooftop garden element softens what could be another stark city-centre drinking spot, and the mid-range pricing means you won't wince at the bill. It's the kind of place that suits a Tuesday afternoon as much as a Friday - probably because you'll be heading elsewhere for your actual night out. Sometimes the best bars are the ones that know their lane and stick to it.
