We had the opportunities to taste three of their cocktails and we fell in love with all three of them. To get the party started Cadillac Spritz is a gin based refreshing cocktail with sherry, elderflower, citrus and prosecco.  For gin and prosecco lover, this is music to my ears.  The thyme garnish is incredibly aromatic and hit the senses before we even take a sip.  The drink is refreshing and a perfect aperitif before the meal.  Take the alcohol strength up a notch we had Honky Tonk, a bourbon based cocktail with honey, ginger syrup, single malt mist, and citrus.  The flavour of ginger comes through beautifully while the honey and citrus balance out the alcohol with a smooth velvety texture.  For something even stronger and masculine, Banana Maple Old Fashioned is a whisky based cocktail and may just tip you over.  Banana flavour is quite subtle and the old fashioned certainly isn't for serious whisky lovers.  Not sure if it was the cocktails or the pre-Easter holiday excitement, we finished night perfectly content and satisfied.  Those cocktails were seriously good and they certainly know what they are doing in Earl's. thernbdiary.com

Had my friends not known this was here, I would have never thought to walk in. Or even wonder what it could possibly be. It was very dark and loud in there. The wait for drinks was not short. But it was still worth it. Great vibe, and I tried one of the nicest cocktails ever which I unfortunately cannot remember the name of now. Give them a go, and leave when you start to lose your voice.
