Bond No.28

You're walking past the Cathedral down Tombland when you spot Bond No.28 tucked away with the kind of understated entrance that makes you feel like you've found something. Inside, it's all dark wood, ambient lighting, and a serious drinks programme that actually knows what it's doing. The bartenders aren't precious about it though—they'll make you a proper martini or suggest something off-menu if you just fancy a decent beer. It's the sort of place where regulars lean against the bar mid-week and weekends see the space properly buzzing without becoming chaotic.
