Contemporary$
The chaos is controlled at this compact city bar. As punters fill the resurrected bluestone cottage and overflow into the courtyard, the team take it in their stride. The ride-or-die freezer-door martini is batched with lightning precision and served with speed, while elegantly garnished seasonal cocktails throw delicious curveballs. One glance at the sheer number of perfectly poured pints shows the Guinness renaissance is real.
