This week, we were listed 12th in the inaugural Top 50 Cocktail Bars in the UK. To see our little bar brushing shoulders with some of the countries, and world's, best bars is something that we are all immensely proud of.
For everyone who has joined us for a drink in the past 9 years; thank you all!
Congratulations to every bar on the list, but particularly to Bramble, and former Orchid bartender Jonny, for being at the top of the list.
