Really nice cocktail selection which I'd have been happy to work my way through if only the atmosphere didn't make me want to leave as soon as getting through the door. The cocktails were let down by the price and size. (Original Pirates Material for size, Dead Parrott for price)
Really nice sitting area, let down by no table service, and long queues, so get ready to play rock paper scissors to choose who needs to go to stand at the bar waiting for half an hour to get 4 drinks. Unless they're different drinks, in which case make it 45 minutes.

I'd definitely recommend staying away from this place, it cost me just short of 40quid for 2 none alcoholic cocktails and 2...
Read moreI'm used to Kelham prices, and I don't mind paying decent money for a good cocktail. But when your glass is half the size of a daiquiri glass and half full I think it's taking the p* to be honest. Staff seem nice enough but it's not even remotely good value for money. Don't usually post reviews, especially not for bars as I'm a manager in a bar myself and I know that one bad experience may not reflect the venue as a whole but on watching the member of staff pour my drink it wasn't even a full measure. Really disappointing in comparison to other bars...
