The Residence Bar & Kitchen

Head down to Rillaton Walk and you'll find yourself in proper grown-up territory. The Residence has that rare quality of feeling both polished and genuinely welcoming—the sort of bar where the bartenders actually know what they're doing, but won't make you feel like an idiot for ordering something straightforward. The cocktail list reads like someone's actually thought about flavour rather than just throwing expensive spirits at everything. Pair that with proper food that doesn't feel like an afterthought, and you've got the kind of spot locals actually want to return to, not just somewhere to tick off.
