  “The venue itself is really cool. There’s a whisky shop upstairs and a hidden speakeasy bar downstairs, which gives the place a unique atmosphere. Unfortunately, the service completely ruined the experience. One member of staff was unbelievably rude when asking us to leave. I completely understand that venues have closing times, but there’s a professional way to speak to customers, and this wasn’t it. I’ve honestly never experienced such rude treatment in a bar before. It wasn’t just directed at me—it was towards both of us—and it left a really bad impression. The cocktails were also disappointing. I ordered the tomato and raspberry cocktail, and it genuinely tasted spoiled. Thankfully, one of the bartenders was kind enough to replace it, which I appreciated, so not everyone on the team was unfriendly. I wouldn’t have left a one-star review over a bad cocktail, especially since it was replaced. But the appalling attitude of that staff member completely overshadowed the evening. It’s a shame, because the venue itself has a lot of potential.”

  “Stumbled across this place one night and decided to make a reservation for the next day. Pretty cool hidden entrance. Solid cocktail and dram selection with reasonable pricing. Very friendly staff. Good vibes. Will definitely return at some point.”

  “A great find! Tucked away behind a hidden entrance in a whisky shop, this place is an absolute find. The atmosphere is beautifully dimly lit with brilliant lighting that sets a relaxed, exclusive tone. The signature cocktail range is exceptional, and the superb staff really know their craft. A real treat from start to finish—highly recommend.”

  “Great cocktail bar! The bar staff create the cocktail menu themselves (but you can still order classics if you want) and the two from their list were great. Also, I want to say a big thanks for being so accommodating with allergies - the staff have a separate station where they make drinks for anyone with allergies to avoid cross contamination. It meant my brother could have a cocktail which usually isn’t the case. Will definitely come back!”

  “Amy and Josh was so great, Amy was the host today and she was able to accommodate us, despite the busy christmas season bookings, whilst Josh kept giving us great drinks recommendations. Overall, from buying whiskey for my dad, to having a chill drinks session at the vaults. The customer service experience we were given, this place is exceptional. We wouldn’t have had this at another place. Truly a hidden gem, this place will stay close to my heart. Thank you so much for today <33”

  “A hidden speakeasy bar behind a bookshelf, super creatively designed and worth a visit. Prices are not cheep, but they also have beers if you are not into cocktails. I actually took a Swiss lager which was actually one of the best lagers I have ever had so I am certain they had great cocktails too. The barman was super chill and direct taken good care of all the guests. If you always wanted to try something mysterious, this is a good start.”
