Meraki

You'll find Meraki tucked into King Street's stretch of bars and restaurants, and it's the sort of place where you walk in and immediately feel like you've made the right call. The cocktail list reads like someone's actually thought about flavour combinations rather than just throwing premium spirits at a wall. Order something off-menu if you're feeling brave—the staff here genuinely enjoy talking through what they can make rather than steering you towards the easy option. It's got that sweet spot between lively enough to feel like somewhere worth the trip, but still intimate enough you can actually hear the person across the table.
