Came here off a recommendation from a friend. Had to get google maps out but it was totally worth it. Ordered a couple of drinks off the menu (one being a sort of coffee flip if I remember correctly) and that was delightful. Stylish, cosy...More

Lovely secret bar! Cool music ,good cocktails , hard to find (which makes it nicer) we walked up and down the street and round the back. It’s literally under the launderette on the corner , down the stairs and there is a black door.

Dead cool speakeasy style cocktail bar with drinks that are inventive without being try-hard. Super efficient staff and a fantastic DJ who kept the old school hip hop coming.

The address for anyone looking for top cocktails, as start of a nice evening, before, or after dinner. Relatively small, and rather simple place, and rather for standing. Pleasant and very professional barmen. Prices are fine, for the, innovative, and quality drinks you get.

Go down the dodgy looking stairs under the tailoring place and it's in the black door. Setting was very nice, cocktails were great, staff very friendly but I don't know who i'd bring here as I'd be ashamed of recommending somewhere where the music is...More

Turned away for being too drunk... interesting to know this when I was sober and just making talk with a bouncer on the door - wouldn’t recommend this place - you might want to review what a drunk customer looks like . Thankfully Uber took...More

Down basement steps, under a dry cleaners business, a small brass plaque on the wall is the only indication of the hidden gem of a bar behind the adjacent door - a small basement bar where you are presented with the drinks menu as you...More

Cool bar that you can easily miss if you don't know what you're looking for (gold plaque at bottom of the basement stairs). Delicious cocktails with a chilled environment inside. Music can get loud so if that's not your thing get there earlier. Well worth...More

What a surprise, down the stairs and into a secret space with drinks. Quirky, loud rap music, and good cocktails. It was good but loud !

Suits and shopping bags rule the streets of New Town,
