Was Anonym at Hippo a mag?
Nicely hidden from the noisy street crowds. We were told that they had a huge whisky selection by the hotel staff, and we were definitely not disappointed. Very well trained staff. Dont hesitate to ask for recommendations. View all feedback.

What Anonym dislikes about Hippo:
We stopped at Hippo for drinks on a Saturday night with friends. Cocktails were and not very good at all. Either poor quality spirits of inexperienced bartender. The place was absolutely packed, so not comfortable to sit and we were constantly jostled. A poor...experience. View all feedback.

Small bar with great cocktails and friendly staff. The entrance made it a little hard to find yes, you do need to open the black door that looks like a service door!

One of the first whiskey bars I really got to hang out in and try. The bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable and they have quite a big selection of drinks. There are also quite a few cocktails to try. The set up not the best, it's fairly cramped and generally hard to hear.

This is a coffee shop in the Calliope shopping complex, only stopped for coffee while on the road and found the coffee very good which can be hard to find
