Blind Tyger — Restaurant in Leeds

Blind Tyger had been my choice for celebrating my 30th birthday, primarily lured in by the enticing promise of a complimentary birthday gift and cocktail, clearly stated on their booking page. Adding to the anticipation, I wore a conspicuous birthday badge to ensure that the occasion was unmistakable.

However, as the night unfolded, I found myself on the receiving end of a rather unmet expectation. Despite the explicit assurances during the reservation process, neither the promised birthday gift nor the complimentary cocktail materialised. The disappointment stemming from this discrepancy between the advertised perks and the actual experience cast a shadow over what should have been a celebratory evening.

In essence, Blind Tyger failed to deliver on its commitment, and the unfulfilled promises left a discernible mark on the overall impression of the establishment. Consequently, my rating stands at 3/5, a reflection of the letdown in the execution of what could have been a more memorable milestone...

Heard about this cocktail bar online and decided to give it a try when I was going for birthday drinks. The bar itself is out of the way, despite being just round the corner from the Merrion Centre.

The staff were wonderful - friendly and chatty and knew the menu like the back of their hands, so if you don't know what to have, feel free to ask for their recommendations (God's Own Cocktail is great for vodka lovers). The manager even came to clean our table when a drink was spilt on it, rather than leaving one of us to do it.

The cocktails themselves are amazing to taste and surprisingly well priced in comparison to a lot of other cocktail bars. Drinks are made using a mix of spirits and fresh ingredients in front of you and are not watered down like a lot of other bars.

Overall, thoroughly impressed by this bar and would recommend in a heartbeat for anyone looking for a good cocktail! Will definitely...

Tucked away between two other bars, a narrow passageway leads you to a hidden gem, an intimate and dimly lit oasis in the heart of the city.

Unlike other cocktail bars I've visited, every drink here was a masterpiece.

For me, the measure of a bar's greatness is its ability to execute a simple drink to perfection. The Old Fashioned I ordered was spot on, a true classic.

I asked for a custom drink based on my partner's preferences, and he absolutely nailed it.

Quiet and cozy, it's the perfect hideaway, and the best part? It won't break the bank.

In summary, if you seek a sanctuary in the city with impeccable drinks and a barman who can create magic, this is the place to be. Cheers to...
