Reviews
"Had an early reservation to kick off our NYE. Our waiter Alberto was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and friendly. Started off as a pop in for 1 drink to us running late for dinner because we were enjoying ourselves so much. Drinks were all phenomenal. Highly recommend for the atmosphere, drinks and staff."
"My brother suggested here as a great place to try. We were in one of the booths, chose from the huge gin selection that they have to try but unfortunately could only stay for one. Great use of a basement area, what a bar. Will be back."
"Always good to be back in this bar when in the town. Great selection of gins, cocktails, good bar food, unfortunately opened only 3 days a week at the moment of our visit"
"It took a bit of research to find this place, but finally we ended up in a fantastic cocktail bar with thoughtful mixology and a great selection of booze. The house recipes we tried (the bananarama, the one-shot method, and the foreshots) were creative without being too over-the-top. They offer twists on the classics (the heads (negroni), the copper pot (corpse reviver no 2)) that hold their own. Staff was friendly and fun. Nachos earned 3-stars."
"A fantastic gin bar, so glad we found it. Located underground down a set of stairs you could easily miss it, but it's fantastic inside. Querky and cavernous, it's got a great atmosphere, and an amazing selection of gins, each with recommended tonics and garnishes. Does also sell cocktails and beers. Great staff, and excellent atmosphere."
