Tipsy Cow

Walk into Tipsy Cow and you're stepping into the kind of bar that actually feels like it belongs in Peterborough rather than a cookie-cutter chain. Cowgate's got character, and this spot leans into it: the sort of place where the staff know what they're doing behind the bar and aren't going to judge you for ordering a Negroni at 4pm on a Tuesday. You'll find locals dotted about, proper cocktails that don't cost a fortune, and an atmosphere that shifts seamlessly from afternoon quiet to proper buzzing come evening. It's the bar you'd recommend to a mate visiting the city—not because it's trying too hard, but because it simply works.
