Under the Stairs
When this effortlessly cool new bar slinked in under the radar, we found ourselves struggling to decide whether to spread the word or hog it all to our Itchy selves. Don't say we're not good to you. It feels like drinking in the perfect living room – think bare wood, stone walls, soft lights and laidback 90s hip-hop on the stereo. A young crowd with their fingers on the pulse and (presumably) money in the bank frequents a bar that's best summed up by its sweet potato chips and coconut and ginger Daiquiri – alternative yet tasteful.

Great music, great atmosphere, comfortable, cool and trendy without being try hard, welcoming, wicked award winning cocktails, great food (I love the chicken pasta and the lamb meatballs), funky decor and great staff inside and out! My new local. 5 outta 5! Rum espresso martini anyone?
