Deco Bar & Lounge

You'll find Deco tucked along the High Street stretch that's had a proper renaissance lately. It's the sort of place where the staff actually know their way around a spirit bottle, and they won't just sling you a generic cocktail because you ordered it first. The whole room's done up in that art deco language—geometric lines, deep jewel tones, vintage-leaning touches—but it doesn't feel like a theme park. Weekends get properly busy with locals and people popping over from nearby areas, though it never tips into unbearable. It's the bar you'd take someone to if you wanted to impress them without being try-hard about it.
