We stopped by this place on a rainy Tuesday afternoon and were delighted by the quality of drinks and the service. After the server translated my English reticence and realised I wasn't so keen on the first thing I'd ordered, he got a sense of what I liked and replaced my cocktail.We were so impressed that we made another reservation for after our meal. This time they served me the best Margarita I've had in my life. Yes, it was £15, but if you favour quality over quantity, it's still worth it.

Staff at our hotel recommended the dark horse for some cocktails and We loved it. Staff were really friendly and knowledgeable of their cocktails. Asked for advice on a sweet cocktail and waiter was very helpful! Pricey but worth it!

Really unique place that I stumbled on by pure accident whilst on holiday in Bath. Service was absolutely impeccable, I cannot fault it at all! Glasses always full, cocktails delicious, service top notch! Staff very attentive whilst not invading space and conversation! Absolutely lovely and unique little place.I never write reviews so you know you've impressed!

Called early doors Friday without a booking, after work. We were greeted by the host on the door and seated at a cosy table. The place is dimly lit and atmospheric, with an interesting interior. We were then given menus and served Cucumber water. The cocktails were excellent and we had hummus and pitta as a snack. The staff were all superb, the playlist right up my street, you could happily spend hours here. We'll be back.

A fabulous recommendation to us from a wrlm informed waitress elsewhere. Fabulous cocktails across the board, but if you want a long refreshing drink, I would highly recommend the Pina Colada, which is made with homemade sorbet and is delicious. Loved it so much wecwdnt back the following day. Top end of the price range but worth the treat. Access is down a steep staircase to the basement. Booking advisable for busy times and groups could request to have a whole area or room. Will certainly return.

We went for drinks and saw they had a pina colada for £15 which is pricey but understandable for the atmosphere and being in bath. But it was so thick and sickly we couldn’t get another drink so we ended up leaving. The atmosphere was really cool - dark and dingy cocktail bar.

An amazing cocktail bar. The atmosphere and staff are fantastic, we forgot to book a table but they still fitted us in, we’ll book next time as it’s clearly popular. Drinks are expensive but worth every penny, and we didn’t have long to wait for them. We really enjoyed that you get given a little glass of cucumber water that staff keep topped up while you’re there.

Coming in from London to have good eats at the Great Bath Feast and had to stop by here for a drink. I came here before and decided to have a drink or 2 before heading back. This is a fantastic bar with an awesome team making great Cocktails. The vibe and music in background is fantastic. Rihanna and Charles are fantastic bartenders. Ask for Charles for his Ace in the Hole.""

This is a somewhat unique experience. A wonderful decor with knowledgeable staff. The drinks are a taste journey - nothing standard or boring. My only regret is I could not trust my legs would get me home if I had stayed longer
