1. Butcher Boy
Head down to Butcher Boy for classic cocktails, reimagined with a subtle touch of playful humour. Try Haw Yeah!, a unique conceptualisation of the classic Ramos Gin Fizz with basil-infused gin, spiced up with the fruity notes of mango and cucumber. Or perhaps take a chance with Holy Smokes, which is essentially a trendy pivot on the classic Old Fashioned with coffee-infused blended malt whisky, redolent with the smokiness of applewood chips. Those looking for a touch of sweetness after dinner will adore Lucky No.7, made with a concoction of brandy, Kahlua & chocolate liqueur. The combination is subtle, with just the right amount of saccharinity. Not a fan of cocktails? The extensive beverage menu also offers a diverse selection of wines, sakes, beers, and not forgetting mocktails, for those into sobriety. Book here.
