Rio's Bar

Head down Shirley Road and you'll find Rio's doing what a proper cocktail bar should do—no faffing about with oversweetened nonsense. The place has a genuine local following (4.7 stars from actual punters, not bots), which tells you something. You're getting classically constructed cocktails from bartenders who give a toss, decent spirits, and a crowd that ranges from after-work crowd to proper cocktail enthusiasts. It's the kind of place where you can order an Old Fashioned and they won't try to garnish it with a marshmallow.
