Planning your night

• Wine lovers: look for coravin lists, tasting flights and occasional winemaker events.

Cornwall‑wise tips

Coastal venues can be breezy—bring an extra layer for terraces. If you’re pairing drinks with food, ask staff for local seafood matches (English sparkling with oysters is a treat). Many bars highlight Cornish spirits—gin, rum and vermouth—so you can sip the county in a glass.

Please drink responsibly and be kind to neighbours when heading home. Ready to raise a glass? Browse the listings above to find your new favourite cocktail or wine bar in Cornwall.
