Silco Bar & Kitchen

You're standing on The Wharf watching the fishing boats come in, and Silco's right there—all exposed brick and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the best seat in St Ives. It's the kind of place that takes itself seriously without being precious about it. The cocktails aren't an afterthought; they're proper crafted things, the sort that require a bartender who actually knows what they're doing. Food-wise, expect smart plates that feel contemporary but grounded—nothing trying too hard to be clever, just well-executed stuff that respects good ingredients.
