Paragon

This intimate, 13-seater bar on the lower part of Peel Street isn’t a place you go to smash drinks before legging it to the next gin joint. The point is to visit and stay, and soak in the vibes for at least an hour. Sink into one of the retro-futuristic armchairs (if you’re lucky enough to snag one) and enjoy a blend of jazz, lounge, and hip-hop amidst the walls stacked with the founder’s own vinyl records. A great spot to catch up with friends in style over drinks.
