ONYX public bar and restaurant

You'll find Onyx tucked away on St Thomas Street, in that bit of Weymouth where things are actually happening. It's the kind of place that doesn't need to shout about itself—the 4.7-star rating does that for them. Walk in and you'll clock the effort straightaway: this isn't some tired chain operation, it's a proper local spot run by people who care. The bar's competent enough to make you decent cocktails without the pretension, and the food side pulls its weight too. It's got the feel of somewhere that actually listens to what its regulars want, which is rarer than you'd think round here.
