GinGenie

You walk into GinGenie and immediately clock the serious spirit collection lining the walls—this isn't some gimmicky spot trading on the name alone. The team actually knows their stuff, treating gin with the respect it deserves rather than just flogging overproof nonsense to hen parties. Set yourself up at the bar, chat to whoever's pouring, and let them talk you through what's on offer. It's the kind of place where locals pop in mid-week for a proper drink, not somewhere you'd drag reluctant mates to.
