Dickie's Bar

You descend into Dickie's feeling like you've stumbled onto something proper—all dark wood, low ceilings, and the kind of intimate booth seating that makes you want to linger over a second drink. It's Richard Corrigan's playground downstairs, a counterpoint to the fine dining happening above, and the staff actually know what they're doing with a cocktail shaker. The drinks menu reads like someone's given genuine thought to flavour combinations rather than just throwing expensive spirits at a problem. It's the sort of place you'd take someone you actually like talking to, not somewhere you're ticking off a list.
