Love this place! The drinks are so unusual but absolutely delicious. The staff are super friendly and know everything there is to know about the drinks they serve, which is brilliant. The whole idea of a secret location makes it all the more fun. Will definitely be going back soon!

From the moment you walk in you know this will be special! We had four cocktails, one of which wasn't on the menu but was made for me after I chatted to the lovely mixologist about my love of a particular perfume ingredient! Absolutely lovely staff, and the cocktails are a cut above the rest. Super special.

Wonderful hidden gem of a place. Amazing cocktail bar. I would highly recommend this place. If u are looking for something different and inspiring, then look no further. Don't be put off by the exterior of the building, it's what's inside that counts. I've never had such amazing cocktails! Thank you

The effort it takes to find 18/81 is more than rewarded by the imagination of the menu, the quality of the drinks and the passion of the staff. Calling it the best bar in the area doesn't do it justice; it's closer to an imaginatively themed Michelin restaurant, but one serving amazing booze.

Phenomenal secret bar which was well worth the search. We were greeted at the door by a very friendly gentleman who showed us in and seated us. There is a fantastic range of cocktails which change quarterly. It is pricey but well worth it and I'd say no more expensive than some of the other cocktail bars in Birmingham where you'd struggle to get served, the music is too loud and quality of drinks isn't quite as good. Staff were really nice and answered any questions we had about the drinks we
