Large variety of really cheap cocktails that are great if you love sweet cocktails . Atmosphere is very chill and the music they play is fun rock/pop with a lot of early 2000s nostalgia.

Lovish Saini

Great place. Awesome atmosphere. Is known to get busy and the cocktails are great and cheap . Perfect if you need a inexpensive night out as a student. £2 cocktails are actually better than expected.

Rachel Thomas

£2 cocktails .. need we say more? For the high rollers amongst you there's also a premium range at £3 or £4. The cocktails are well made using good quality booze but for £2 - who cares?!

Neil Condron

Great ales and craft beer . Camra discount . Cheap cocktails for the legions of students who visit - maybe avoid at peak times if you're going for the beer .

Ben Hodgkinson

The £2 cocktails are well worth trying. Strawberries & Cream was particularly delicious & ace value. Failing that, ask them to recommend a craft beer to try. The bottle range is stupendously good.

Alice

Good, cheap cocktails , lots of seating and fully accessible, with a lift to all three floors and helpful staff , even on a busy Friday night.

Bryony Hiscock

Loads of people being really scathing about the £2 cocktails . They're a brilliant little quirk of the place and the food is also really good!

Dawn Dovahkiin Greene

Love the cocktails . So tasty and cheap . Strawberries and cream one is heaven. Hard to find a seat on a weekend night though.

Matt

Good selection of draught , cask , and bottled beers . Get involved. Watch out for those prices though!

Lola Buchanan

£2 cocktails are great, I didn't even think this was possible any more!

Lee T McDonald

Great place to go after work and start the weekend. Cheap cocktails , Pro Evo on the big screen and the food is pretty decent too. On two floors so you won't struggle for somewhere to sit/stand/stumble

Eline????

cheap and good cocktails , good for groups .

Taylor Louise'

good atmosphere, £2 and £3 cocktails are decent defo get what you pay for and they are slightly weak but overall good place to socialise if your a student

Shane Jones

It's not a cocktail bar . You want £2 drinks in a glass that aren't beer , this is you place. Otherwise just get a £5 zombie

Sarah Quinn

Great bar , great atmosphere. Bloody mary cocktails for £3! The foods normally excellent but the past few times its been burnt, or somethings been missing.

Freida Kumar

Cheap cocktails and good student drinking experience!

Leighton Ashcroft

The music here last night was so loud that I literally couldn't understand what people next sat to me were saying. Left after one drink with ringing ears . Not really what I want from a bar .

Rishi A

I don't even really like salad but the Font Caesar salad made me a believer.

Matt

CAMRA Member discounts available.

Matthew Holt

Cheap but shit cocktails , music far too loud to the point of ringing ears (and shit music at that) scruffy teenagers aplenty

Szcze Pan

Wifi pass is still chocolate (as of Sep 2013) ;)

Sophie Williamson

Bit of a student institution. Be warned about the £2 cocktails though, you get what you pay for.

Nathen McVittie

If your cocktail is based around crushed ice , be wary of how much they use. Think about asking for less.

Nicholas Ringling

Try the Dr . Pepper it's lovely.

Lee Farrar

Wifi password still chocolate as of jan 2014.

Kieron Sumner

Ask for the sex on the beach , without the beach .

Nathen McVittie

To any freshers/newbies... The curly fries are legendary!

The Tequila Sunrise is pretty bad

Nathen McVittie

2 for 1 on bottles of Tiger beer before 10pm.

Frankie Buttons

In the girls toilets , go to the 3rd one for hilarious "COCK PISS PARTRIDGE" eyeliner graffiti

Rebecca Garland

Smoke on the Water, best cocktail .

Nathen McVittie

They recently raised the price of a whiskey sour to £3. (From £2).
