Dark Arts Potion Bar

Walk into Dark Arts and you've stepped into someone's beautifully twisted imagination. The High Street location feels properly tucked away despite being dead centre, and inside it's all moody lighting, taxidermy, and genuinely creative cocktails that go beyond the usual Instagram bait. The staff actually know their stuff—they're not just pouring spirits, they're crafting something with real thought. Whether you're after something sweet and fruity or properly challenging, there's an intelligence to the menu that keeps locals coming back rather than it being purely novelty-driven.
