Evil Eye

You'll walk past this place a dozen times before spotting the understated entrance wedged between Stonegate's tourist shops. Once inside, forget the medieval street outside – you're in a proper cocktail sanctuary with low lighting, eclectic décor, and bartenders who know their stuff. The drinks menu reads like a love letter to rum, with tiki classics sitting alongside inventive house creations that pack serious punch. The place fills up fast, especially at weekends when the pre-dinner crowd mingles with serious drinkers settling in for the long haul. Staff actually care about what they're serving, and it shows in every perfectly balanced cocktail. Sure, you'll pay city centre prices, but when your Mai Tai arrives looking like liquid art and tasting even better, you won't mind splashing the cash.
