Craft Bar

Walk up Northway and you'll spot the kind of place that doesn't need to shout about itself. Inside, it's warm without being try-hard—exposed brick, decent lighting, the sort of bar where people are actually chatting rather than staring at their phones. You'll find proper cocktails here, the kind made with actual technique and decent spirits, not the syrupy nonsense you get elsewhere. The team behind the bar know what they're doing, and they'll happily guide you through the menu or make something off-piste if you ask nicely. It's become the sort of spot locals genuinely want to return to, which explains the stellar reviews.
