About this space

An intimate cocktail bar occupying a wood-panelled interior; the venue's defining quality is a low-lit, speakeasy atmosphere.

Design: The interior pairs deep wood panelling and tufted leather seating with low pendant lights and green-shaded lamps, producing a compact, dimly lit room.

Features: The bar provides a full cocktail, wine and spirits list alongside beer. A PA system and speakers are provided and hosts may play their own music. Air conditioning, wheelchair access and accessible toilets are available.

Ideal for: Small groups seeking a relaxed, intimate setting for a mix of seated socialising and standing mingling.

What guests say: The venue is atmospheric and intimate, and staff are attentive and friendly. The cocktail menu is well regarded, though music levels can be high and the entry route can be tricky.
