It was different, but a bit oversold. They've put too much effort into the 'speakeasy' style and forgotten some of the other bits that matter.

Overall decent cocktails but they tried to overcharge us by 50 because they made a mistake on the bill and charged us for another tables' drinks. Their treatment of us after making them aware of the overcharge was abysmal. Don't think I'd come here again solely based on the service.

Wouldn't drink here again. Took 10 minutes to be noticed at the door and seated with multiple staff walking past without acknowledging us. Took a further 15 minutes until we had to ask for our first drink, then sat with empty glasses for another 10 minutes until I had to flag down for another drink. Menu was incredibly disappointing and strange - asked for classic cocktails (which they said you can request), they had no ingredients or facilities to make any classics, then I saw them bring 2 out of the cocktail they said they couldn't do, to another table. Upon asking for the bill twice over the course of another 15 minutes, we asked to take the *KEYWORD* discretionary and optional 12.5% service charge off the bill because we felt we didn't receive a service. When we asked this we got referred to the manager, who was so rude, he said it is up to the establishment whether they add or deduct the service charge and that this will happen everywhere we go (treating us like children) - he then started guilt tripping us saying that we're taking away the workers salary, we ended up paying and leaving to get out of the awkward situation. Management staff clearly need to know what discretionary charge means and the fact it is on the customer and not the restaurant, a simple google would tell you that... only reason they are getting a star is because the cocktails we did manage to have were very nice, in taste, price and presentation.
