Cocktail Bar.

Cocktail bar, speakeasy and night spot, this was formerly an underground public lavatory. Steps lead down to entrances still marked as Ladies and Gentlemen. Attractive wrought iron arches over the entrances bear the city crests. It originally opened in January 2019 and opening hours are still not fixed with late closing. There is a "request a booking" form on line and event hire opportunities. There is no draught beer,
