Whatley's Bar — Your Local, 198

Your local for a proper cocktail, a cold pint and a long table of friends. Pull up a stool — the candle's already lit.

Welcome to number 198

A neighbourhood bar that keeps the good company close


No velvet ropes, no fuss. Just a room built for the after-work pint, the slow Sunday spritz and the round that turns into three. We make the drinks properly and we know your name by the second visit.

Cocktails made the long way

Fresh juice squeezed to order, house syrups, proper ice. Our list runs from the classics done right to a handful of our own — built around what's good and in season. Not sure what you're after? Tell the bartender how you're feeling and let them sort it.

Food that earns its place beside the drink

Bar snacks to share, a few plates that mean business, and chips that disappear before the next round lands. Simple, generous, and made to be eaten with your hands and a drink in the other.
