New Entry

Created by bartender Iain Griffiths, this welcoming neighbourhood hangout comes with a slick, seventies-inspired vibe and a menu designed to surprise and delight in equal measure. Built on the premise of creating "dressed-up classics for dressed-down people", this is not the place to come if you want highfalutin serves poured by white-jacketed bartenders; this is the place to be for unpretentious service, inventive drinks in all shapes and sizes – think mini snaquiris all the way up to pitchers of seasonal house daiquiris for the table – and bar food so good it's become a thing of local legend.

Claim a burnt orange vinyl chair at the curved, neon-laced lacquered bar and order yourself a signature frozen starter such as the Mama Tried (strawberry, yuzu and matcha blitzed with mezcal into a smack-you-in-the-face refreshing sorbetto), and follow it up with something equally cryptic or quirkily named such as the Salad Negroni, which is confusing nothing like a salad, unless you make them with nectarines, basil and gin. The most popular bar snack to accompany your drink? The bar's Spice Bag, which combines fried chicken, fries and peppers, all served in (you guessed it) a branded bag with curry sauce.
