Makoto Bar

You're walking down Bridge Street in the town centre and you spot Makoto tucked in amongst the usual suspects. Step inside and it's immediately clear this isn't your standard Walsall night out—the bar staff take their craft seriously, crafting Japanese-inspired cocktails with precision and flair. The atmosphere manages to feel both relaxed and engaging; you can perch at the counter and watch the theatrics of a proper bartender at work, or grab a table if you're here with mates. It's become a proper go-to for anyone in Walsall who wants a drink made with actual thought behind it, without the pretension.
