Went for bottomless brunch. Delicious sandwich from Skipton Deli and a great choice of cocktails which were beautifully presented. Service is 10/10 and the owners are a good laugh. Would recommend for a night out or a few quiet drinks with friends early evening
Very impressed with the cocktail selection! Great beer too. The staff are very efficient and friendly; Incredibly knowledgeable about mixology and can create anything you can imagine! 10/10 new favourite bar in Skipton Dog friendly and good alcohol free options
Fantastic bar. Our second visit, we stayed 3hrs! The cocktails are amazing! Only suggestion for improved (and it’s minor) would be to serve crisps / peanuts in a dish rather than a packet. Other than that, amazing service and drinks’
Absolutely top-notch cocktails in a really chilled out, relaxed environment. The "drinks" menu has clearly been well thought out. Perfect if you just want to sit, chat and enjoy some brilliantly crafted cocktails. Our first visit but definitely won't be our last.
We ordered £70 worth of cocktails and the waiter came over to the table and knocked it spilling the drinks on everyone. He didn’t take accountability for this and refused to replace them. There was also a load of free loaders trying to get free drinks in the bar wasn’t a nice place to be honest. I think we just had a bad experience but just be careful.
