Mambo

You'll find yourself on Mill Lane in the thick of Taunton's evening scene, walking into Mambo and immediately sensing you've picked a spot that takes its cocktails seriously. The bar trades in the kind of drinks that require a bit of theatre—proper spirits, fresh citrus, house-made syrups—the sort of place where the bartender actually knows what they're doing rather than just pouring whatever's closest. It's the kind of venue that's become a regular haunt for anyone in Taunton who genuinely cares about what's in their glass, drawing a mixed crowd from the town centre on weekends.
