The Source

You'll find The Source tucked into Rose Yard, that bit of town that's quietly become the place to be after dark. The vibe shifts depending on who's behind the decks—some nights it's proper buzzy with a younger crowd keen to move, other nights it's laid-back enough to actually hear your mates. The cocktails are solid without being pretentious, and at £8-12 a drink, you're not getting fleeced like you might in some places. Don't expect somewhere trying too hard; this is straightforward fun, the sort of spot where locals actually want to spend their Friday nights rather than trudge into London.
