Bargo

Walk into Bargo and you're immediately in the kind of place that takes its drinks seriously without being insufferable about it. The space hits that sweet spot between polished and unpretentious — you can rock up in jeans or dress it up, and either way you'll fit right in. The drinks list reads like someone's actually thought about flavour combinations rather than just throwing everything at the wall, and the team behind the bar have got the skill to back it up. It's the sort of spot that's made Orford Road feel less like a stretch of random boozers and more like somewhere worth deliberately heading to.
