The Tipsy Toad

You'll find yourself on Bakewell Road heading towards this spot that's become the go-to for anyone wanting cocktails made with actual care. The Tipsy Toad doesn't pretend to be something it's not—it's a proper neighbourhood bar where the drinks menu reads like someone's actually spent time perfecting recipes rather than just slinging out flavoured vodka nonsense. Walk in and you're greeted with that warm, slightly chaotic energy of a place that takes hospitality seriously but doesn't take itself seriously at all. The kind of spot where locals prop up the bar on a Tuesday and regulars get their usual without asking.
