Guilty By Association

You're walking into Stevenson Square on a Friday night and ducking into Guilty By Association for something that actually tastes good without the theatre. It's the kind of place where the bartenders know what they're doing but won't make you feel daft for ordering something straightforward. The room's got that Northern Quarter vibe—exposed brick, moody lighting, people actually talking to each other rather than filming their drinks. It sits right in the middle of the action on Stevenson Square, so you've got plenty of reasons to be in the area anyway. Fair prices for what you get, and they take their cocktails seriously enough that you'll notice the difference.
