During September, National World will be celebrating food and drink across its 139 titles including The News - and I will be showcasing some of the best places to visit based on reader opinions and our personal favourites. As part of our food and drink month, I asked our readers their favourite places to grab a drink – and the votes came rolling in. From Abarbistro to Spice Island Inn to Rapscallions, there is a range of places worth a visit.
Here are 15 places in the city that are perfect spots for a drink:
13. Abarbistro
Abarbistro on Lombard Terrace serve up a good selection of cocktails alongside their food offering. They have a 4.6 rating based on 1,054 Google reviews. One person said: "they do great cocktails" Picture: Marcin Jedrysiak Photo: Marcin Jedrysiak

Formerly known as the Blue Posts when it opened in the Victorian era, the pub changed its name to The Pembroke in the 1890's and it has been a popular spot with locals over the years. Photo: -
