The Alma

You'll find The Alma tucked into Chapel Market's run of independent shops and cafés—the kind of street where locals actually spend their Saturday mornings. Walk in and it feels immediately lived-in: dark wood, worn leather, the sort of place that's been doing its thing for years without needing to shout about it. The bar staff know what they're doing, cocktails aren't pretentious, and there's a decent selection of wine if that's more your speed. It's the kind of spot you stumble into on a Friday evening and suddenly three hours have gone by because you've got proper conversation happening.
