Well, the bar staff have taken a liking to me so I’d prefer if this review was kept a secret from them. I’d hate for my warm welcome to transform to a frosty «GET THE HELL OUT»
Wink wink.
Sooooo the cocktails are nice, or I wouldn’t be a regular.
No, I’m not an alcoholic. Alcohol loves me. That’s totally different.
They have a very wide selection of cocktails to choose from so there’s something for everyone.
My recommendation, the Tokyo bull and the violet royals.
My only issue is. .. . Hate to say anything negative but. .. . You order a mojito, enjoy it, weep at how nice it is then order another. a completely different thing appears. .. Not in taste, but appearance, I mean different glass, different garnish, different colour. You genuinely have to ask if it’s the same drink.
But since it taste just as great as your previous drink, you kinda have to shut up and not ask where the mint is.
Friendly atmosphere, very relaxed.
Do give it a go people!

I’ve been here before for the food and it was truly yummy. Now thinking of it no idea why I didn’t review it… Life got crazy I guess lol … Anyway! Back to business! So I was here AGAIN last week Friday for cocktails and damn was I loving it! I sipped on a Tokyo bulldog and 3 royal violets. It was a wild night, let’s leave it at that ha! I recommend it! Worth every penny and if you get there between 6 – 8 they have free food too! Such great hosts right?!

I only found this place after receiving an email from timeout for 4 for £16 cocktail deals and it is really close to my work so went for it
It’s right by the Holborn Viaduct and is a cute small bar and when I say cute there isn’t really that much room in there. There were seats free straight after work mid week though
Lighting quite dull but big glass windows so imagine it’d be nice now the sun is setting later
Food menu also looked quite nice however they weren’t serving food due to an issue with the chef which was a shame
We sat and the waitress was with us immediately so had no time to pick a cocktail! It was then such slow service until they came over again
Cocktails however were really good. My friend asked for an amaretto sour to be made for her as wasn’t on menu and I had Gingerbread Martini & Italian Chocolate Bomb. Both realllly good indulgent cocktails
To order our second two we had to go to the bar as it was so busy and they didn’t come over
Overall not bad, I would go again after work with colleagues for a drink but I’ve been to nicer placers for same price with better ambience and service
