The clue’s in the name with this one, and it certainly lives up to it. The menu, which features cocktails like Tequila Mockingbird and Sweet Chai’d of Mine, is inventive and heavy on the puns, which is a nice touch.

7. Las Iguanas

It may be a chain, but this Mexican restaurant serves such lovely cocktails it would be a shame to miss it out.

8. BYOC

For something a little different, BYOC (Bring Your Own Cocktails) lets you bring in your own alcohol and have it mixed for you, for £25 for two hours. If you think about how easy it is to rack up a hefty bill after knocking back £9 cocktails all night, this works out pretty cheap. Grab some mates, split the cost of some bottles of vodka, and head down to BYOC for an interesting experience.

9. Be At One

Again, this bar is a chain, but the cocktails in here are fancy AF, and nothing short of exquisite. They serve all the classics, plus a lot of new takes on old favourites. The amaretto sour is not to be missed here, neither is the Shaky Pete, which combines gin and beer but yet still somehow manages to taste amazing.

10. Bar Valentino

Sit outside and enjoy your bespoke cocktail at Valentino. These cocktails pack a punch and will have you dancing on the tables in no time. Or if the tables don’t fulfill your dancing needs, the clubs are only a stone’s throw away so you can pre-drink here and head out on the town afterwards.
