Matt Bailey
★★★★★3 weeks agoA great spot for amazing cocktails. We have walked past this place numerous times but never sat and had a drink. We visited for a drink before heading out to dinner to celebrate our 10th Wedding Anniversary and we are so glad we did. Amazing service and fantastic cocktails. We will be back!

★★★★★3 months agoBig thanks to Steven for making both visits memorable. One of the absolute highlights of my journey to Bath. The breath and depth of Stevens knowledge is nearly unprecedented. The scope of the whiskeys they carry is vast; there’s something for everyone. I cannot recommend enough a visit (or two) The Hideout. One of the top bars in the UK with some top notch bartenders. Thank you, Steven!! Also, they recommended a whiskey bar in Inverness (The Malt Room) which I’m very grateful for. Overall, incredible experience.
