Decoration is quiet fun. Cocktails are good but not cheap . Music was great. Quiet on week days (but not empty)

sergio

Beautiful cocktails and people, great place to meet up with friends or going on a quiet date. a bit dead on weekedays which is a pity

Chris R (thechristophe)

There is a £10 minimum limit on using cards. But cocktails are great and it is a lovely cozy space for catching up.

David R

Small, weird, hidden and completely recommended. Good music for a good time with a small group of friends.

Jamie Whittingham

Love the cocktails , music , decoration, just everything about this place is amazing ^.^

Jack Smith

A bit claustrophobic being in a basement . Blink, and you'll miss the entrance

Ali B

Staff are friendly . Barbies are cute - although less attentive to one another than before ;-) the bleach smell persists...

Lauren Rubin Tiley

Kitschy , and truly an everyone's-welcome experience. Go with a group and dance like no one is watching to classic 80s and 90s on Friday nights.

Irina Botea

Quirky bar , a bit hidden but welcoming

It is a sauna in here! The place itself was nice but didn't stay long enough to notice anything else besides the heat.

Camper than Christmas and perfect for early evening drinks or a cheeky gay-date, it’s light hearted and approachable – perfect for gay bar first timers or hardened popper sniffers alike. Read more

After been dragged here reluctantly by my big sister, it's actually quite ok

They have 330ml glasses. No excuse for being common and drinking out of the bottle

The red wine glass is very generous.....hic
