Cherry Jam

Head down to Mealhouse Brow and you'll find Cherry Jam tucked away with the kind of low-key entrance that means the locals keep it to themselves. Inside, it's all dark wood, moody lighting, and the sort of bar setup where you can actually watch someone who knows what they're doing craft your drink. The cocktail menu leans into classic territory with decent twists, and staff actually talk you through what works rather than pushing the most expensive thing on the list. It's the sort of place you'd take someone you want to impress without feeling like you're trying too hard.
