We have the ever lovely .artist coming down to lead our first ever Evil Eye Create and Inebriate Event! (Inebriation is entirely optional, it just rhymes and that makes me feel good)

Happy Monday Everyone! Our special of the week is here and it’s brought the sun with it! 🥳

This weeks special is as easy to drink as ‘ABC’… mostly because that’s what it’s called, but also cause it tastes like an apple berry crumble 🤤

Coming in at just £5 a go, and packed to the brim with spiced rum, fresh blackberry, blackberry liqueuer, apple pie syrup, a little bit of pineapple AND a ginger biscuit crumble on top!

It’s tasty, it’s £5, it’s here until we shut on Thursday! Who’s coming in for one?

07/11/2024

Thursday is important for two reasons! The first being that it’s our specials FINAL day! £5 for one of the tastiest cocktails I’ve ever seen? You’d be mad to miss out!
The second and most foremost reason is that this evening, we host our weekly open mic night!

We have all the gear!
We have some idea!
We just need you here! (See what I did there?!)

It starts at 8pm and carries on until the end of the night, with such great features as;

-hosted by the lovely and often loud
-plenty of musical instruments available to use, and many many more options to plug in your own!
-top tier beverages and bar staff!

What else are you gonna do with your evening? Sit at home? Go somewhere else? Pffft We will see you at the bar!
