Locale

Part lounge, part low-key dive, Locale is perennially buzzing with cool customers. The drinks menu will keep you hooked and the music fits the bar’s alternative vibe. It’s a great place to grab an afternoon beer and get some work done on one of the sofas; but in the evenings, this little corner will be packed. The exposed brickwork gives a sleek utilitarian feel, but the welcome is always warm. Don't take the name at face value: Locale would fit as easily in New York or London as it does here.
