Open 5pm — 1am · Closed Mondays
Low light, loud records, honest measures.
A forty-seat room behind an unmarked door on Barrack Street. Twelve drinks on the menu and a bartender who will happily ignore all of them.
On the menu
Changed each season. Everything else you can think of, we can probably make.
Barrack Street Sour
House rye, oleo saccharum from yesterday's citrus, aquafaba. The one we are known for.
Ash & Honey
Mezcal, burnt honey, lime. Smoky enough to divide a table, which is the intention.
Garden Martini
Gin washed with dill and cucumber, stirred forty turns, served brutally cold.
Nothing, thanks
Four non-alcoholic drinks built with the same care and priced like we mean it.
From the kitchen
There is no menu behind the menu
Twelve drinks are printed and the bartenders will cheerfully ignore all of them. Tell them a spirit and a mood and you will get something that exists nowhere else.
Four zero-proof drinks are built with the same labour as the rest and priced like we mean it. Nobody at the table should be handed a sugary consolation.

“I asked for something with amaro and no citrus and got a drink that is not on any menu anywhere. That is the whole review.”

Before you visit
Do I need to book?
Walk-ins until 21:00, bookings after. Friday and Saturday go about ten days ahead.
Is there food?
Small things only: olives, almonds, a very good toastie after 22:00. We are a bar and we would rather be a good one.
Can you make something not on the menu?
That is the preferred way to order. Name a spirit and a mood and let the bartender do the rest.
Is the back room available?
It seats fourteen and is bookable most nights except Saturday. There is no hire fee, just a minimum spend.
Walk-ins welcome until nine.
After that we take bookings only. The back room seats fourteen for private hire.
