Slick and tasty cocktails meet cool live jazz at this luxurious bar and restaurant.
Tucked down Hardware Lane is the Mill, offering an elegant retreat into the world of fine food and even finer (read: wicked) alcohol. Settling into a soft leather sofa - the kind of seat that begs you to relax every muscle in your body - it's easy to see why the Mill is being lauded as a mecca for those with a passion for luxurious indulgence. New York loft-inspired decor merges with the rustic history of the building to create a setting that's easy on the eye and perfect for savouring your poison of choice.
Sunday evenings bring live jazz to the Mill from 6.30pm, and when accompanied by a selection from the well-stocked bar, it makes the perfect remedy for the end-of-weekend blues. An abundance of wines, spirits, and liqueurs all beg to be tasted and, with expert staff to mix that favourite cocktail, there's no such thing as "one quick drink".
It may be tempting to gain practical experience of the Mill's martini list - a journey through the history of the martini with several variations on the classic drink - but if it's Sunday and you need to be up for work on Monday, your head will thank you if you go for quality over quantity: the 24-carat gold leaf martini perhaps?
