Yard
Occupying the site of an 18th-century brewery, Yard sports an industrial-chic décor of stainless steel, polished copper pipes and zinc ducting, with a trad-looking bar in front and clubby sofas in back. Outdoor tables, good food and a child-friendly policy pulls in families at lunchtime, while cocktails and DJs attract a young party crowd at night.

Salt
A huge, modern, nautical-themed bar (ocean-liner décor, blue-and-white drapes, bits of driftwood, pictures of the Welsh coast) with plenty of sofas and armchairs for lounging around and, best of all, a first-floor open-air terrace with a view of the yachts out in the bay.

Café Bar Europa
Café Bar Europa is super small, but in a good, cosy way, with exposed brickwork, album covers, and books scattered around. At night it metamorphoses into a bar, where there are poetry readings, DJs, comedy, and acoustic live jazz, blues, folk and rock.

Cantaloop
Set in a lovely old red-brick building, Cantaloop is a terminally hip designer lounge bar, with lots of polished wood and leather sofas, an extensive cocktail menu and a Havana cigar bar. There's also a nice outdoor terrace for summer-evening drinks.

Bar Icon
A newcomer on the scene, Icon is an ultra-stylish cocktail bar decked out in designer shades of olive green and chocolate brown, that pulls in a mixed crowd of gay and straight, male and female, young and old, with comfy sofas and laid-back tunes.

Moloko
An industrially decorated vodka bar with good cocktails and Russian lettering on the walls - so you don't forget the theme after too many shots. Moloko is a relaxing place with a good mixed crowd, and the music ranges from Motown to hip-hop.

Goat Major
Solidly traditional, with armchairs, a fireplace, and lip-smacking Brains Dark real ale on tap, the Goat Major (ask the bar staff about the name) is an oasis of old-fashioned calm amid the noise and bustle of trendy city-centre bars.

Cwtch Bar
A cwtch is either a warm, safe place or a cuddle and this little bar, below Jolyon's hotel, is certainly the former and imparts a cosy feeling that's almost as good as the latter. Lethal two-for-one cocktail deals add to the merriment, as do occasional open-mic nights. Sink into a sofa and slip into Cwtch's warm embrace.
