Exceptional Cocktails and Friendly Atmosphere

Stepping into this charming little nook of a bar, one is immediately greeted by the warm ambiance that practically spills out onto the street from its inviting open-windowed facade. Situated strategically for optimal people-watching, it's particularly delightful when one can observe the vibrant life pulsing through Rokit's adjacent quarters. Inside, the space brims with the lively chatter of patrons who seem to be universally indulging in happy hour's reasonably priced elixirs—two for £13 feels like a cozy bargain here. The staff? Unfailingly amiable and charming, managing effortlessly to make even the most transient visitor feel snug.

However, amidst the libations and lighthearted conviviality lies the true highlight: cocktails that deftly flirt with playful creativity. My partner delighted in a nuanced twist on the classic espresso martini—a boisterous affair with tequila that made real espresso its heart. Meanwhile, our teenage daughter was elegantly catered to with a bespoke mocktail that showcased the bartender's accommodating flair. Besides the surprising musical choices that added a peculiar quirk to our visit, one leaves perhaps gently aware of the need for more than a brisk sprucing up—but then again, it's these seasoned edges that lend charm to this unpretentious haunt. While it might not serve as an ideal dining sanctuary, it triumphs as a reliable spot for a good drink among friendly faces. — Clarissa Cuisinier
