Allkin Tap and Bottle

You'll find Allkin tucked away on Calverley Road, just south of the Pantiles—close enough to town but far enough to feel like a proper local's refuge. This is a bar built by people who actually care about what's in the glass: the bottle selection is thoughtfully curated, ranging from rare craft beers to spirits you won't find everywhere, and the tap list rotates seasonally so there's always something new to discover. The space itself has that comfortable, unfussy vibe where you can settle in for a serious conversation or just nurse a really good drink without any pretension getting in the way.
