❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Inventive cocktails on a slimline, but award winning menu. Back bar of alternatives is available.
Style/
Décor
❤️❤️❤️❤️
The ground floor is like wandering into a Manhattan dive bar with notes on the ceiling, top hats as lampshades along a small simple narrow bar. Downstairs is a different affair with curved strip lighting and vaulted ceiling. The upstairs is far preferable.

If you are lucky enough to grab a seat (try opening) at the main bar then it’s a buzzy, social atmosphere with a sense of fun about it.

Value For Money❤️❤️
Undeniable expensive on the upper end of what’s available around the city, with the quality coming reasonably close to matching.
DescriptionCode Bar has made some of the tastemakers and listmakers guides in the past and now it joins ours. As with many cocktail bars it takes its inspiration from Manhattan speakeasies, from the bell for entry to the informal, small narrow bar area decorated with bank notes and top hats, with the cocktail making a kind of performance happening in front of you. Arrive early for any chance whatsoever of obtaining a seat on that level, or you’ll be sent downstairs to what is sadly a bit of an overflow area. The cocktail options are slimline but distinctive, and reach a high standard if not quite the prices it thinks are merited. For the bar buzz and sense of fun, this is a popular place that’s well worth a look. (Added January 2024)
