About

Rogues Bar gives Guildford something slightly darker and more cocktail-led than the usual High Street drinking options. Tucked away in Tunsgate Quarter, it leans into intimate lighting, a grown-up bar feel and a drinks-first approach that makes it especially useful for evenings rather than daytime stops.\n\nIt is not a pub in the traditional sense, but it fits this category because a good Guildford drinking guide should include at least one stronger cocktail-led bar. This is one of the more distinctive options for a night that is built around drinks rather than food.\n\nFor dates and smarter evening drinks, it is a worthwhile inclusion.
