Delicious rotating cocktail menu tucked away in downtown Bristol. Finding it is easy (main road from Google maps, black door, ring the call button to the right). The menu is complex and detailed, and there is a drink for everyone. This is a must see. We went on a quiet early Tuesday evening.

Really should have taken some pictures of the cocktails. Fabulous. Rich sumptuous decor, very good service. Cocktails a little pricy perhaps, but then I'm a little out of touch, and they were absolutely excellent! So, five stars. Note ... very easy to miss the entrance ...

This is one of the most amazing bar Ive ever been in. The explanation is exquisite, making the customer feel like home and knowledgable about what they are getting into. The manager is real friendly and the drinks pack a punch for sure. Nice decor, suits a theme alongside with their drinks. Definitely need to stop by when coming to Bristol.

Really cool cocktail bar, everything we drank was interesting, and totally different to what we were expecting— for example I don’t normally enjoy tequila but the tequila wasn’t a prominent flavour in one cocktail and it was really lovely to drink.Staff were not as frosty as some of the reviews on here would suggest, I found them really pleasant.Definitely book in advance to get a table, it’s a really popular spot and they don’t have loads of seating. Atmosphere was cool but not buzzing.We only had our table for 90 minutes so expect a pretty quick turnaround- I believe you can let them know if you’d like the table for longer when you’re booking.

We came her on the recommendation of a local waitress, and were not disappointed. The atmosphere is excellent, dark, good music, and generally luxurious. The cocktail menu is interesting too, with lots of things on there worth trying. The staff are very friendly and helpful, with explanations of the menu and recommendations. Prices are what's expected of a city centre cocktail bar.

Very good cocktail bar “hidden in plain sight” there’s something unique about the way this bar operates. We booked here for early evening, pre dinner cocktails for our anniversary night. Once inside the bar has a lovely vibe to it. Everyone working here are happy and friendly, the menu is extensive and beautifully designed, the cocktails are creative and very nice. Everyone was very knowledgeable about the drinks and helped when deciding on the next cocktail. I would definitely recommend this bar. Excellent experience. Thank you!

We had our first time here for a special birthday. The service from Ali (apologies if not spelt right) was impeccable. Drinks were incredible and the most professionally mixed and blended we have ever had , and the suggestions that Ali made exceeded our expectations. Looking forward to returning again, amazing ambience and location and couldn't rate highly enough. No rating for food as only came for drinks and chess !If you haven't booked in for this venue you are missing out!
