"This bar is a hidden gem! The selfish part of me wishes to keep it that way so that when I go back I can enjoy the atmosphere and have the staffs full attention, but I honestly would love for people to experience the charm of this little bar and see the place thrive! The bar just feels luxurious, the furnishings soft and complimentary to the historic building"
"Came here for a private party"
"A beautiful building and should be a lovely place to have a drink but getting served is the challenge"
"Very ornate, nice bar"
"I booked a table because I needed somewhere quiet to wait with a whisky for a friend delayed by the strikes"
This bar is a hidden gem! The selfish part of me wishes to keep it that way so that when I go back I can enjoy the atmosphere and have the staffs full attention, but I honestly would love for people to experience the charm of this little bar and see the place thrive! The bar just feels luxurious, the furnishings soft and complimentary to the historic building. High ceilings, moody lighting and music from the dj adding to the weekend vibe without bursting your ear drums! The barman was charming, to call him just a barman is almost insulting, he is infact a genius. No pre mixed cocktails at this bar, each one was individually crafted with love and care and served with the same manner. If your favourite drink isn't on the menu, not a problem, talk to him and he will create it for you, ingredients permitted of course! The calling of 2 4 1 cocktails in other nearby bars maybe tempting but if you're looking for something a little bit more special, this little gem is for you. I am looking forward to going back and I thank you all for a wonderful evening.
Came here for a private party. Cocktails expensive and not done well on our visit - don't order off menu, a caipirinha was firstly unknown, done badly by an obviously inexperienced bar person - redone, not well/right but drinkable, inexperienced barman was pretty much left on his own for quite a while. Also a charge was added to each cocktail for service, so they are all more than they are priced in posh leather bound books. I'm happy to pay for a quality cocktail, these weren't. Wasn't impressed.
A beautiful building and should be a lovely place to have a drink but getting served is the challenge.... One girl who was clueless, another who seemed to be doing everything- drinks, orders from waiting staff, taking payments, etc. When you are serving cocktails, which of course take time, there has to be other staff who can serve. Won't go on a Friday evening again but will try at a quieter time to give a more objective review!
Very ornate, nice bar. Nice menu, however staff not so good. 3 tables with people sat at and 4 staff members on yet there were 3 dirty tables with empty drinks on, we weren’t greeted on arrival even though we walked past all 4 staff members in the bar then we were left waiting 15 mins without being acknowledged at all so left. Wouldn’t recommend.
I booked a table because I needed somewhere quiet to wait with a whisky for a friend delayed by the strikes. Upon arrival, I was told it was closed (this was before 11pm) when the opening hours say 1am and the website took my booking. I was told to go to some raucous bars instead when I am a quiet man on my own with a book. Very unimpressed.
I fully recommend this bar, not only for drinks but also for coffee! The place inside is stunning, couches with all possible colours, romantic music, and if you are lucky enough to have the place for your own, the staff there gives you the opportunity to change the lights in the way you want (for instance more romantic).
Nice enough layout and atmosphere but could do with some music in the background (perhaps blues or swing would suit). Kerri & Achim were the staff, both very attentive and welcoming. Kerri's knowledge of the drinks and experimental nature with cocktails was brilliant, very interesting to watch and listen to
Stumbled across this little gem and loved it. I suspect the lush rich decor makes it more of a perfect santuary in the autumn and winter but at the end of a long day of shopping a glass of champagne by the huge fireplace was just perfect
TOOK 30 mins for drinks, 6 people in the bar altogether!! Said they forgot about us!! When there’s 6 people here !!! No free drink or compensation just a sorry Thought they was going half way around the world for our drinks
They charge a service charge on every drink despite no table service - just regular bar. Lovely setting but spoilt by that alone as lots of nice places to get drinks and not get charged over the odds.
Really interesting decor, feels like a hidden luxury in the center of the city. Good bar service, and lots of little nooks for finding a quite place to have a meeting or chat.
Fabulous. Compact yet intimate, pretentious yet inclusive. Attentive friendly staff. Felt comfortable to sit and have a cocktail on my own. Will visit again with friends!
Great selections of cocktails that go down all too well. Great service, but the only drawback is a 10 minute hike to the toilets on the other side of the hotel.
Thoroughly enjoyed a cocktail or two here. They will make you want you want if it isn't on the menu. I could have stayed in here for hours
Lovely place, great drinks and service. Witty banter from barman James made our visit all the more enjoyable! Will be returning:)
Such lovely surroundings, cocktails ok but don't order of the menu: they have no idea how to make a dry Martini...
Swanky cocktail spot in Bristol luxury hotel. Nice selection of wine, beer, snacks and barrel aged cocktails.
