Comptons

Manor Farm Road isn't usually where you'd expect to find serious cocktail craft, but Comptons quietly does both classics and their own thing without any faffing about. Walk in and you'll clock the kind of place that doesn't need to shout about itself—good bones, good lighting, the sort of bar where you can actually hear what your mate's saying. The drinks are genuinely thought through, not just Instagram bait, and they're the type of venue that gets regulars for a reason. Whether you're after a Negroni that tastes how it should or something a bit more creative, they're not precious about it.
