Cocktail bar

A cocktail bar is where a drink feels a little more like an experience. It might be a classic martini, something fruity and colourful, a carefully mixed old fashioned or a house special you would not usually make at home.

These are the places for date nights, catch-ups with friends, celebrations, after-work drinks or evenings that start with "just one" and turn into a proper night out. A good cocktail bar brings together flavour, atmosphere and a bit of theatre without making it feel too formal.

Whether you know exactly what you like or want to try something new, local cocktail bars give you a place to slow down, enjoy the setting and make the night feel a little more special.
