About
A quirky speakeasy disguised as a laundrette, this bar is known for its novelty entrance through a vending machine and immersive themes, including conspiracy theories. Guests are greeted with a phone call and guided into the space, which blends playful elements like a disco in the toilets with creative cocktail menus. The drinks often come with detailed explanations of their concepts, adding to the experience. The bar’s gimmick-driven approach and attention to storytelling make it a distinctive spot for those intrigued by unconventional settings and themed drinks.
Customer Reviews
Really great! Cool set up and drinks were awesome, staff were lovely and very friendly, especially Devon! He really took the time to explain the lore behind our drinks and gave some great recommendations (like the Birds Aren't Real) and was overall lovely to chat to. I had a great time :))
Id heard of this place online and always wanted to go, so when my mum decided she wanted to for her 50th I was super excited. I LOVED this place as an escape room and small business (and alcohol) lover. This place is so unique and well made, along with some of the best and nicest service I've had from an establishment. Good fun and not even fussed about the price because the whole place and uniqueness of the drinks makes it entirely worth it!! Server with a mustache(sorry hun we weren't sure of your name) was incredible and made the experience 10x better, as well as making us feel very welcome. As a hospitality worker myself, my partner and I were also so impressed with our servers ability to remember not just our entire order without writing it but the ingredients of them just off the top of his head.
You call up a phone when you arrive, get given instructions, and then enter through what looks like a vending machine, it’s fun and definitely different. Unfortunately, the rest of the night didn’t quite match the exciting start. It took over 40 minutes just to get our drinks, which was really frustrating. When they finally arrived, they were nice, but at £30 for two drinks, it felt way too expensive, especially for the service. The toilets were clean, but since they were unisex, it felt a bit uncomfortable. Overall, it’s a fun place to try once for the experience, but with the slow service and high prices, I wouldn’t be in a rush to go back.
