Gantry

You'll find Gantry tucked on New Street, the sort of place that doesn't need to shout about itself because word's already out. Walk in and you're met with that rare combination of being genuinely welcoming without the forced cheeriness—the bar staff know what they're doing, whether you're after a crafted cocktail or something straightforward. The crowd's mixed; you'll catch everything from after-work regulars to folk on a proper night out, all of them relaxed enough that it actually feels like a proper local's bar rather than somewhere performing at being one.
