Drinks were fantastic if a bit expensive. Ambience was nice too. Small intimate bar.

Sat at the bar to have a few drinks and bar staff were super friendly and great to chat with. Had an amazing experience and the drink presentation just gave it and extra level. I had a smoking gun and the smoked applewood added a nice complexity to the smell and taste. Would definitely come again!

It calls itself a cosy bar but it was very noisy. I couldn’t talk to my date! Wouldn’t recommend this place

Great cozy and unassuming cocktail bar. It is upstairs in a lane next to the Marriott, and would have missed it had I not do a search. It’s small, maybe seating for 40 or people max. Great ambiance and music. Really nice and helpful staff. The cocktails were delicious.

The same is hidden away upstairs. It’s intimate with a cool, speakeasy vibe. The music was 1950s-1970s which was a bit of a surprise, and perhaps a tad on the loud side. Drinks were delicious and well-sized. We didn’t eat so can’t comment on the food. Friendly staff.
