The Old School Yard

You'll find yourself in what used to be an actual school, now done up with all the quirky fixtures and fittings you'd expect from that conversion—think exposed brick, vintage fixtures, and genuinely good bones. The bartenders here know what they're doing; these aren't Instagram-bait syrups and dry ice situations, just properly made cocktails that taste like someone's actually thought about balance and flavour. It's the kind of place where a Friday night gets properly buzzy without feeling forced, and you can actually hear conversation at the bar.
