Cheap Dates

You'll find yourself climbing the stairs to Orchard Square and realising you've stumbled into the kind of place locals actually want to drink in—not some Instagram bait with a £15 mojito. Cheap Dates delivers on its promise without cutting corners; the cocktails are genuinely well-made, the staff know what they're doing, and you won't need to remortgage after a night out. It's the sort of spot where you can rock up solo, grab a stool, and chat to the person next to you, or book a table with mates and properly settle in. The fact that it's consistently packed and rated so highly speaks volumes in a city centre that's got no shortage of mediocre bars.
