Reviews


A unique concept combining a hairdresser shop and a bar, this establishment offers a huge selection of gin cocktails in an elegant and dimly-lit setting. While some patrons found the service to be hit or miss, overall the drinks were top-notch and the atmosphere was praised as cool and quirky. The staff was noted as proficient, but some guests encountered bartender indifference. The location was considered brilliant, with a varied and good value menu. Despite encountering a rude security guard, visitors enjoyed the speakeasy vibe and eclectic music selection. With a cozy and unique atmosphere, a perfect cheese plate, and the option to enjoy a range of carefully crafted cocktails, this bar is a must-visit for those looking for a memorable night out, generally, The Barber Shop receives a rating of 4.5 on average.
