Went on Friday night with my boyfriend and had no trouble getting a seat about 8pm. Amazing service, got fresh water and seated straight away. It's under a little laundrette and not signed but worth the trouble of finding it! Great cocktails too.

I visited for a couple of cocktails and the service could not have been better. Very reasonably priced and the cocktails were delicious. Will definitely be telling everyone to visit!

Difficult to find, really cramped and dingy. Felt like a high-school house party in a basement, to be honest. The bouncer was lovely though.

Tucked away in a basement on Queen Street close to junction with Hanover Street. Visited early evening mid-week so bar wasn't crowded but sure the venue would be atmospheric later on. Great cocktails and friendly staff. Music was loud!

When it does not look right, it is always right. Fabulous ‘speak easy’ bar hidden in the basement at the bottom of the stairs below a dry cleaning outlet. Walk down the stairs, open the big brown door and step inside of a really groovy...More

Situated on the corner of Queen Street down a few discreet steps behind iron railings is this little gem, serving unusal cocktails in a relaxing but dark lounge. The staff are really helpful in explaining the menu and offering advice. It's not cheap but worth...More
