Kore

You walk into Kore and there's no pretension, just people who genuinely know their way round a cocktail menu. The space has that after-work energy—lively enough that you're not sitting in silence, but you can actually hear yourself think. Staff here aren't the type to make you feel daft for asking questions; they'll talk you through what works, what doesn't, what's seasonal. It's become the sort of place locals actually choose instead of defaulting to, which says something in Hindley.
