Easy to miss, but well worth going out of your way to visit. The owner has an extensive knowledge of booze and can point you to the exact right cocktail that will tickle your taste buds. He can also then give you a break down and history of the drink and delights in doing so. Easy to get a seat and the ambience is lovely.

Fantastic, hidden, subterranean cocktail bar with an ultra-knowleageable owner-bartender. If Rhydian draws you into conversation, expect to stick around and order another two or three rounds. Genuinely superb.
