After a lunch at another restaurant with a friend we found this bar initially I loved it the atmosphere and vibe was inviting... One of the owners serving us had a great sense of humour and very personable after he finished shift the bar began to fill with evening patrons and the vibe continued to impress until the next day I checked my card purchases (I don't carry cash) to find that I had transactions that I was charged double for, so disappointing what a way to spoil my point of view of what

Ok, so there was this blue flame in the glass, and when it was done, it left a trace of dark bitter caramel to infiltrate the cocktail... Smooth Proof

Our group popped in here for drinks after dinner Saturday night. The staff were really lovely and the service was always fast. Cocktails were delicious. Fun and hip bar, food smelt amazing! Highly recommended.

Proof is an awesome bar on Anster Street, with a pretty extensive cocktail list featuring bitters like aperol and campari. The decor is rugged chic with various deer heads hanging on the walls, leather booth seating upstairs, and a nice rooftop terrace with charming lights strung over the top for a little moodlighting. Great spot for a classy cocktail!

The proof is in the pudding here so go along and find out for yourself... Hopefully your visit will prove to be as foolproof and fun as mine have been... Enough puns? I love this funky, tucked away bar. Exposed beams, cool interior and a large impressive bar create the first impression after being greeted by a friendly man on the door. I have been 4 or 5 times now and only once, on a quiet night, was there no man to open the door for me. I'd got kinda used to it too... so maybe BYO man if it's a quiet night....or I suppose you could open the door yourself. I have found the service to be slick, friendly and knowledgeable. The bar staff look up as soon as one enters and provide a greeting or acknowledgement. A simple courtesy that I see missing often. Upstairs, no matter whether you are standing round in a group, sitting in the cosy chairs, or situated outside in the patio area, the staff will seek you out and provide table service. Another welcoming touch. They have simple but extremely tasty cheese toasties, with about 8 different filling options. A great pre dinner snack if shared, especially perfect for that hour after work and before all your friends arrive to go out to dinner. As an example. Worked for me anyway. Great beverage selection with waiting staff who can offer suggestions and explain wines. They keep an eye on the water glass too and top that up another touch that I appreciate so much. I love the feeling in here. It is warm and cosy, whilst feeling cool and special. I hope you go discover it and get your own proof!
