Gut Level

You'll find Gut Level tucked away on Chapel Walk in the city centre, and it's exactly the kind of place that makes you wonder how you've not been in sooner. The vibe is unpretentious but clearly run by people who care about what they're pouring; they're not trying to be cooler than you, which is refreshing. Step inside and you're in a space that feels lived-in rather than designed-to-death—the sort of bar where the bartenders actually know their stuff and want to talk about what you're drinking, whether you're ordering a classic Negroni or letting them build something off-menu based on what you fancy.
