Top Bling
One of BBC’s (Boom Boom Chicken’s) house cocktails, the Top Bling is a refreshing taste of summer. The team there believe in making their own fruity flavours in cocktails in-house, allowing them to infuse naturally. Located within St Asaph Street’s Little High, their tap cocktail, Gin & Jooze, changes weekly.
