These Days Bar

You'll find yourself on Druid Street in the thick of Borough's regenerated warehouse district—there's a reason this stretch has become properly good. These Days has the stripped-back aesthetic down: exposed brick, decent lighting that doesn't assault your eyes, the kind of place where the bartenders actually know what they're doing. What sets it apart is the lack of faffing about. The drinks menu reads like someone's actually thought about flavour rather than just stacking up adjectives, and they're clearly into wine in a way that feels genuine rather than gatekeeping. It's the bar you'd want on your local high street.
