Went out for drinks several times while in Newcastle but kept coming back to this place as it was so good. The drinks are incredible, the rose and marshmallow cocktail was the nicest one I've ever had and the staff are all amazing. One of the guys even recommend other places for us to try for drinks and food while on our trip which was lovely. The atmosphere is great and we found it to be a nice, chilled out place whilst still being entertaining. A favourite place of mine!

Really affordable drinks compared to other bars I've been to and can even even make lots of classics that aren't on their menu if you askFast table service means you get your drinks soon after arriving and don't have to wait to be served at the barThe staff are all really friendly and make you feel comfortable - also feels very safe as a woman as don't have to worry about men approaching youVery instagrammable! Navy and pink colour scheme with candle lit tables make for great lightingOn Saturdays they have a DJ, but even when I've visited on a weekday they still play great hip-hop musicPerfect for dates and cocktail nights with friends, wouldn't go anywhere else!

We were recommended by another bar - the continental. It was so strange just tucked right out the way in the cloth market, down in the basement.This place is table service and right from the start we really enjoyed it. We were sat and a jug of water for the table was provided which I think is a nice touch.The music was fantastic, and really set the mood of the whole place, playing original R n B and rap.The place kind of had a jazz vibe with the small round tables, architecture and low ceilings.As there were so many cocktails to choose from we asked for recommendations and we went for a sours which was delicious. We also played the can't decide random choice thing which was really cool too.The bar staff were super friendly and very helpful and we really enjoyed our night.

I wouldn’t describe the drinks as anything special, and are slightly overpriced. They don’t have your usual ‘basic’ cocktails, therefore finding one you know you’ll like will be slightly more difficult; I ended up ordering one which sounded nice but wasn’t, and wasted £8.95The staff were, however, really friendly, and made the visit enjoyable. Complimentary water upon arrival was a beautiful touchThere was also quite a nice atmosphere in the cosy-sized establishment.I would consider returning

This cocktail bar is hidden downstairs off cloth market and you'd be forgiven if you didn't know it was there. It's one of the best cocktail bars in Newcastle with a great selection of cocktails and a bustling atmosphere. There have been times where the music has been so loud I have only been able to hear the person sat next to me talk and not been able to engage with the whole group, so for large groups it can be hit and miss but if there's just a couple of you or looking to take someone for a date, this is a place you should definitely check out.

Cocktails were amazing and the service was really friendly. A really cool basement bar, perfect place to kickstart your night.

We'd booked a table and were eventually shown to a tiny slab of timber with high chairsin a deserted corridor.My draught beer was 2/3 of a pint. Waiter hadn't a clue what was going on, but tried his best to be ingratiating. My wife liked her marshmallow cocktail. Music was mainly '70s and chosen by someone with no taste or expertise. We weren't welcome and got the message straightaway.

Brilliant place to grab some cocktails and spend time with friends. Really good music and with the booking system it is never overcrowded. You have your own table and table service so no waiting your turn at a bar. Clean and relaxed atmosphere.
