Chilito

You'll find Chilito right down on Wharf Road where the working harbour meets the tourist trail—a spot that could easily go twee but absolutely doesn't. This is proper bartending territory: the sort of place where they actually care about what goes in your glass and won't just sling you a mediocre mojito. The crowd skews knowledgeable without being pretentious, and there's genuine warmth in how the staff treat regulars and first-timers alike. It's become the kind of bar where St Ives people actually want to spend their evenings, not just somewhere to pass through between the beach and dinner.
