    Nice atmosphere but a bit pricey
    The place is really nice and there is a chill yet sophisticated atmosphere. I didn't particularly enjoy my two cocktails but I guess this was on me making the wrong choices, given that everyone else loved theirs. I find it a bit pricey relatively to the "size" as I often had better larger drinks for the same "size" at couple restaurants in the city centre.

    Great place
    Visited last night with pals My friend asked for a mulled what the bar man said they did normally sell it but could easily make her one which he did , she said it was the best mulled wine she had every tasted. The Barman was very knowledgeable about white wines too. Great customer service which sadly is this day is very lacking in a lot of places but certainly not here Would diffinatly return. Nice chilled atmosphere and nice decor

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A very delightful mixology experience. The waiter is adorable, listens to your tastes, very polite. And the cocktails are original, elaborated and tasty. Don’t miss the chance to discover the smoky atmosphere of the Dragonfly!

Delicious cocktails and great vibe. Small area at the back for stand up comedy and surprise acts. Would definitely recommend.

We were welcomed by an extremely friendly doorman and staff. It’s an interesting venue with a great cocktail menu. The bar staff were spot-on with their recommendations. Delicious cocktails and good music.

Selection of cocktails are excellent and if you're not drinking, they will happily concoct a mocktail based on your flavour preferences. The staff are amazing and very friendly. Definitely well worth a visit.

Almost reluctant to review because this is a small haven in the city and don’t want it to become mobbed!! But great vibe, superb and original cocktails, friendly and knowledgeable service.
