Baker Street

You'll find Baker Street tucked away on Avenham Street, that stretch of Preston that's quietly become proper good for a night out. It's the kind of place where the staff know their stuff without being insufferable about it — they'll make you a decent cocktail or point you towards something interesting on the wine list. The room itself has enough personality that you're not sitting in some soulless box, but it's not trying so hard that it feels exhausting. It's where locals come when they can't be bothered with the city centre chaos but still want decent drinks and decent company.
