Jock's Cavern

You'll find Jock's Cavern doing its thing on Bull Ring, that slightly scrappy bit of the city centre that's actually got character if you know where to look. It's the kind of place where they take their cocktails seriously without being precious about it — the bartenders know what they're doing, and they're not going to dress up a drink in unnecessary theatre. The crowd's a good mix of locals who've discovered the place properly, people heading out for the night, and folk who just want somewhere with actual quality spirits and knowledgeable staff. It's not trying to be trendy or Instagram-baity; it's just reliably good at what it does.
