What Kel C likes about 1806 Cocktail Bar:
1806 has been on my bookmark for ages and finally get a chance to visit. If you are a whiskey lover, you gonna adore this place. Intimate, cozy environment and made for some small talk with the love one, or some besties! Staff also gave us some great recommendations. Love the SHOJO cocktail, so refreshing and nicely presented!. What Dennis M doesn't like about 1806 Cocktail Bar:
There are plenty of options in the city, unfortunately for this place, it's not memorable. The drinks were great, the staff was OK, but nothing stood out at all. There is a huge whiskey selection and a fantastic menu. Years ago, 1806 was probably ahead of the pack, but now it looks tired inside. View all feedback.

1806 is a great spot for an after work drink and I've now been here twice to celebrate birthdays - one that was mine and one for a friend.

1806 is a charming cocktail bar located in the city with a fantastic menu and a huge whiskey selection. While the interior may seem a bit tired, the drinks are top-notch. The atmosphere is lively and fun, perfect for a night out before or after a show. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly, providing excellent recommendations for drinks. The unique concept of drinks inspired by songs and served in a vinyl menu adds to the overall charm of the place. Despite some negative experiences with service, the majority of reviewers highly recommend 1806 for a great night out with friends.
