My prior experience of cocktails is uncomfortable, however the friendly nature of the staff here, combined with their knowledge, made me feel really at ease. We dealt mainly with Evie, who was fantastic, but all staff were fabulous. Recommendations were spot on. Truly enjoyable visit.

One of Leeds' best kept secrets! This is my go to place for a quieter cocktail or few! The menus have something for everyone (including mocktails), and every drink is the same price. Don't be afraid to challenge the bartenders though - they really know their stuff and will happily make you a bespoke cocktail too!

Just love everything about this place! The cocktails are always such interesting flavours, equally creative and delicious. One of the drinks even came with a puzzle this time which we enjoyed. It's a cosy place with a great vibe, the staff are very welcoming and attentive, and the prices are so reasonable for the quality.An absolute gem in my opinion, hands down my favourite bar in Leeds. Keep up the excellent work!

Ace hidden gem.Innovative selection of cocktails to try (but they’ll make you anything if you can’t see what you want on the menu).Has a shabby chic vibe with super friendly staff.Decent prices too.Can’t wait to come back.

Really impressed by the staff/service here (informed on the cocktails whilst also doing the basics of casual/friendly service right too!). And the quality & uniqueness of the cocktails were outstanding too. Brilliant location and atmosphere also.

Really interesting bar to get a cocktail. Great atmosphere, beautifully decorated venue and friendly staff. Menu was unique and the drinks all tasted really good.Recommend The Individualist cocktail as was tasty and such a fun experience.

So grateful to have found this bar. My experience on a Thursday evening was faultless. The environment from the moment you step foot inside is like no other. Spacious seating, nicely dimmed lighting, a really nice smokey aroma in the air too, not like your usual boozy smelling bar. It's so inviting.You're then greeted by the staff here that cannot do enough for you. The attentiveness of the guys I had the pleasure of dealing with on that night was so refreshing. Other places can learn a lot from these!The flavours of the drinks are impeccable. The service is amazing. Start to finish I was blown away and I cannot wait to return next time I'm in Leeds.If I had to pick one point to improve on I'd say the restrooms need a spruce up, they fit the style of the rest of the place but they were just a bit scuffed compared to the main area. But definitely not a negative!See you next time!

A group of 5 of use came in for the 'best margarita in Leeds'. We ordered 5 and within 2 minutes of sitting down we decided that we should leave and one of our friends ex was on a date there and it as extremely awkward. we asked the waitress (short girl, maybe 20 years old, short black/brown hair, tattoos on her arms, called Phoebe) if we could get the bill. When we got the bill having been there for a total of 5 minutes I asked to remove the service charge. I felt this was reasonable as we weren't staying for long and if we were to stay longer and actually engage with the staff and felt entertained as appropriate the service charge would have been a nice expression of gratitude for her service. Upon asking for the removal, the waitress turned and said 'yeah, that's rude' in a dismissive manor. I was extremely taken back by this tone and her attitude, especially all things considering. Having over a decade of experience in hospitality I am fully aware when a customer is rude and have an excellent comprehension of the service required. Her attitude and behaviour was unacceptable. If she was one of my staff I would like to know. The atmosphere was nice, although it wasn't that busy. The margarita was good though.

Great little cocktail bar. And yes, the entrance is down the narrow black and yellow metal stairs. But once you're inside, it's a lovely decorated bar. It's worth booking, but they do sometimes have the bar area open for walk-ins, which we were on this night. All the staff were friendly and the drinks/theme was great. Would highly recommend.
