Great for cocktails and food - I always go for the tapas option and really enjoy it. It's a very big, open place, so if you like loud noise go here... If not, this isn't for you :)
I would also recommend having breakfast and coffee here.

I wouldn't say this is my favourite by all means, however I do think this is a great atmosphere, any time of the day and actually, I am always surprised how good the food and service is. Very cheap and cheerful. I've had quite a few breakfasts here too.

This is newly renovated and a lovely bar/restaurant in the centre of Stamford. The bar has a lovely feel to it and it can get quite lively on a Friday and Saturday night which adds to the great atmosphere. I've only had food a couple of times here, however every time I have absolutely loved it... The booths upstairs are lovely, if you can get one that is!

Drinks & Nightlife
This is more of a nightclub rather than a bar... You can have drinks down stairs in the bar, or go upstairs for something a little more lively... I've only been here once, however I've heard it's a great place to go if you want a late night dance!

My absolute go to on a Friday or Saturday night (or actually any night of the week!) It is a very small bar and has a wide range of gin's. All drinks seem reasonably priced here and this is why you'll probably see me at the bar if you do decide to go! In the summer it also has a fab garden!

The 'sister' bar of The Wine Bar, this is an alternative Wine Bar but this end of Stamford. Personally, I still prefer The Wine Bar down the High Street, however, I still always go here for one! The Wine Bar is very lively and sometimes a bit too much, so this is perfect if you find there is no room there.

Shopping
Stamford High Street has your usual 'high street' shops, however I would recommend taking a walk to St Mary's Street (the next street across), which has a more 'boutique' feel to it.
