Proper Shop

Walk past the seafront bustle and you'll find Proper Shop tucked away on Torbay Rd—the sort of place that takes its alcohol seriously without any pretension. You're looking at a carefully curated selection of craft spirits, particularly gins that go way beyond what you'll find in the supermarket, plus wines chosen by people who actually taste them rather than just stock them. The staff know their stuff and won't patronise you, whether you're after something specific or just fancy exploring what's new. It's become the go-to spot for locals who actually care about what they're drinking.
