This cozy cocktail bar has a great atmosphere and really helpful staff. We visited during a busy time at the festival. I ordered my favorite, the Espresso Martini, and it was outstanding. My partner opted for a gin and tonic.

Late night the cocktail place was over the street early to the end, because no one was in there, as we were turned away, we noticed that Tonic looked rather violent. It didn't take time to go in. The staff made my wife cocktails from her menu and made me classic with my choice of tip. Very recommended.

Good service. Good cocktails. Nice ambience. Worth a visit. Cheese

Went for drinks for a birthday celebration, not been in a few years and it was great to be back, the effort put in to all the drinks and menu has always been really impressive! Served by a lovely lad on the bar, unsure of his name unfortunately, was on the bar 5pm onwards on Monday. He went out of his way multiple times to create amazing personal cocktails to suit us individually. 4 if us had 3 cocktails each and we all shared them as all 12 were insanely good. We'll be back ASAP. Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
