    Stunning interior. Really enjoyed The New Street Garden - Tanqueray 10 Gin mixed with Elderflower Cordial, mint, lime andcucumber, topped with Fever Tree Tonic. Surely will be back to try more cocktails!

    A rather small bar connected to New Street Grill. They have comfortable sofa seating. When we visited on Saturday early evening it was quite empty. We stayed for one drink before leaving for dinner. The service was adequate.

    This bar is right next to Liverpool Street station. The ambience is very nice, the staff is very helpful and friendly as well. They have some very creative and nice cocktails, plus other drinks as well. We had a reservation, so we were immediately seated at our table. The bar is big and spacious, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Would definitely recommend!

    Me and my girlfriend went here for some evening drinks, the service was amazing and the bartenders so friendly. The atmosphere was great and we were very comfortable. We had a great time I’d encourage everyone to go here!

    Surprisingly quiet place given the location and the day (went on a Saturday evening) but i liked my experience here. Quiet, intimate, and tasteful

    Booked a reservation for a group of 12 after seeing the very positive reviews. When I initially called they said it would be difficult to fit us in, but when we arrived it was mostly empty yet they didn’t have any seating set up for our group. They said this was because I hadn’t specified if we wanted to sit inside or outside, bearing in mind it’s end of October it would be quite odd to book weeks in advance to sit outside… Booked it for the cocktail hour which they said they no longer do, but it’s still on their website so they kindly honored it. We were asked if we wanted water but never received it. Rushed over from another venue but wish we’d stayed there instead, there are plenty of better bars in the area.

    Friends and I had drinks here. Brilliant ambience, they have a heated outdoor space too. Lovely cocktails and the food was scrumptious. Definitely try the Salmon Bellini. But what really was great about this place was the manager, Manuelle. What a gentleman and great conversationist. We had some issues with our table, which he immediately sorted and was a brilliant host the whole night. Would definitely recommend this place for speakeasy drinks and nibbles night, as there is music, but you can also actually hear each other talk without getting that scratchy throat the next day! 10/10.

    Amazing evening here, it was my first time but Manuel who looked after us made me feel like it was already my local! He suggested each cocktail, (with only my very poor examples of what I think I like as I really don’t have or know much about cocktails😅) and all 3 were as insane as they looked! Soo refreshing and pure to have staff that care and ensured we were having a great night. Thank you

    We went for a drink and service was good.

  • 5/5 Jandira C. 1 year ago on Google
    The service was 5stars. Very welcoming, the atmosphere is nice. Went out with friends for a couple of drinks. Manuele was the star of the night great costumer service, very attentive from the beginning until the end. The drinks were amazing. Thank you for your professionalism. For sure I recommend and will be back.

    Beautiful spot! But get there on time for dinner or you’ll be stuck at the bar having drinks only- which is actually a good time because they have a DJ so the bar area doubles up as a dance floor. The staff are lovely and guests are super friendly- you may end up on the dance floor having a good time with strangers, which is always a fun!

    Do yourself a favor and visit this unique cocktail bar and restaurant. The service is unmatched, the atmosphere is very vibrant and the staff were not only accommodating but they truly care about your experience. Had a great laugh with Manuel

    Found this bar to have a drink after dinner and was very glad to have. Fantastic place, great atmosphere, quality drinks and really friendly and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend it for a night out and a great place to impress!

  • 5/5 Venetia C. 1 year ago on Google
    A great spot! Lovely outdoor area under fairy lights & greenery. Nice and chilled but a stone's throw from liverpool st. Manuele suggested some fun & delicious cocktails and was generally hilarious.. Will definitely pop back when in the area

  • 5/5 Afshan S. 1 year ago on Google
    Came for a couple of drinks with my friend. We hadn’t booked a table but Emmanuelle was able to squeeze us in. Being indecisive, I asked him to choose our drinks and he presented us with some beautiful cocktails. The service was warm and welcome, we’ll definitely be back again.

  • 5/5 Karl C. 1 year ago on Google
    Manuele, Leo and Gabord always make me feel special. Friendly and attentive service as always. I couldn't recommend them enough.💚💛🖤✊🏿

  • 5/5 Andrea F. 1 year ago on Google
    Went with a friend for a simple chill meeting. What a surprise! Enrico the bartender serve us a earthy fizz that was amazing so I need to order twice! And amazing old fashion that was superb! We also have the pleasure to meet the assistant manager Manuel! Great person! We feel like home! 100% recommended! Quality of the cocktail 10/10! Customer service outstanding as well! So come! You don gonna regret!

    Beautiful decor inside and out. Delicious but affordable cocktails (highly recommend The Evil Kiss). Very good service and clean toilets.

  • 4/5 Amrit M. 2 years ago on Google
    Really great but closed a tad early for my liking on a Friday night. The outdoor area is very spacious (and heated) and the cigar menu was a nice touch.

  • 4/5 Gabriele Dal P. 2 years ago on Google
    Really a nice place, the food was so good and not expensive and it’s in front of Liverpool station, the only negative thing for me is the list of the wine, little poor. Vittoria the receptionist is very friendly.

  • 5/5 Bella S. 1 year ago on Google • 1 review
    The service here was outstanding. Our waiter Manuele was very friendly and ensured we happy and had what we wanted before the last glass was empty. The fig proseco gets my thumbs up too.
