Grumpy Monkey

You'll find Grumpy Monkey tucked into Above Bar Street, where the city's drinking scene actually happens. It's the kind of place that doesn't try too hard—the name alone tells you what to expect. Walk in and you're greeted by bartenders who know their trade, mixing properly considered cocktails without the eye-rolling theatrics you get elsewhere. The space has character; it doesn't feel like it's been focus-grouped by head office. Locals actually come here, which says everything. Whether you're after a classic Negroni or something more inventive, there's a real craft ethos running through what they do.
