North

Don’t be put off by its sometimes murky exterior, there are few cooler spots in Britain than North, a warm and stylish nook stacked with top-shelf liquor and over 120 fine British, German, American and Belgian beers plus regional curiosities from all over the world. With art on the walls, light dishes on the menu, table service and super-friendly staff, it has everything to make you feel at home among your friends in the North. DJ’s play a very eclectic mix on Friday and Saturday so there’s something for everyone. The crowd can be a bit offhand at first but with such fine drinks and charming down-home staff you’ll soon break the ice.
