About 1 Tippling Place
Furnished like a well-read uncle's parlour, the space mixes floral wing chairs, leather club seats, patterned rugs, a ship model on the sideboard and a large painted mural of a boozy gathering. Seating comes in small clusters rather than rows, which makes it easy to settle in with a group. The bar itself is long and stacked with bottles, and the menu covers house takes on the classics, including a Fish House Punch and a Waldorf made with the bar's own barrel of Wild Turkey, plus smoked presentations and thoughtful mocktails. Hours are 5 to 10 PM Tuesday to Thursday and 5 PM to midnight on Friday and Saturday; it is closed Sunday and Monday. Rated 4.6 on Google from over 400 reviews, it earns steady praise for warm, quick service and a cosy room that feels hidden from the street outside. One recent reviewer found the drinks too juice-led for a craft bar, so purists may prefer the stirred side of the list.
