Shady Pines Saloon

The verdict

Hidden in a small lane behind Oxford Street, Shady Pines Saloon would be concealed, that is, if it didn't always have a queue out the front. When entering this dimly lit space your eyes immediately dart to the taxidermied wall hangings giving it a Wild West, Texan feel. With a serious cocktail list and complimentary baskets of peanuts, it's an easy spot to get lost for the night.
