Storehouse Bar & Eatery

You'll find Storehouse tucked into the old warehouse on Blossomgate—that converted industrial space that's become the beating heart of Ripon's food scene. It's got the bones of its former life: exposed brick, high ceilings, the kind of room that echoes with conversation rather than muzak. The bar does proper cocktails and an actual wine list, but there's nothing precious about it; you're just as welcome nursing a pint as you are getting serious about a G&T. The food is the real draw though—locally-minded cooking that doesn't overthink itself, paired with the sort of service that makes you feel looked after without hovering.
