Tapios

Head down to Crescent Road and you'll find yourself in Tapios, where the bar staff take their craft seriously but don't bang on about it. It's the kind of place that gets rammed on a Friday night—locals propping up the bar, groups clustered around tables, everyone looking like they're exactly where they want to be. The drinks list reads like people who understand what makes a proper cocktail tick, and they're not going to let you down with a sloppy pour or premade nonsense. It's become the sort of spot where Windermere people actually want to drink, not somewhere you've been dragged to by visiting mates.
