Sips

Head down to The Maltings and you'll find yourself in one of Salisbury's best-kept corners. Sips occupies a beautifully restored Victorian malthouse, all exposed brick and character, where they take their drinks seriously without being pretentious about it. Whether you're after a carefully made cocktail, a decent wine list, or just a solid gin and tonic, the team knows what they're doing. It's the kind of place where the bartenders remember your name by your second visit, and the crowd—locals, Cathedral Close regulars, visiting friends—all seem genuinely happy to be there. Perfect for a Friday night out or a quieter weekday escape from the High Street chaos.
