First thing you have to do when you visit the O bar is get one of their cocktail club cards, because I promise you will be back. As far as I can remember, these cards are free and basically just mean you end up paying a wee bit less for your spirits. The bar is cosy but chic at the same time, with classic retro couches, lamps and all sorts of posters, art and photography on the bare brick walls that give it a real character.

First thing you have to do when you visit the O bar is get one of their cocktail club cards, because I promise you will be back. As far as I can remember, these cards are free and basically just mean you end up paying a wee bit less for your spirits. The bar is cosy but chic at the same time, with classic retro couches, lamps and all sorts of posters, art and photography on the bare brick walls that give it a real character. The clientele generally seem to be very friendly too, as this isn't the sort of bar you go to warm-up for a night, it IS your night because it is just such a pleasant experience to drink at.

I have only been to this place twice, but I would like to go more often, it’s a pity it is too far from where I live. If it was closer or if I was close then this would be a definite once a week, at least, place where I would be at. The place is great, its got a 70’s – 80’s kind of feel to it, it is like being back in time. This is a rare thing to have in a bar but I guess they went for a more selected crowd. However anyone would like this place, I can assure you. The drinks may put you off, but it’s a great place to take friends or a date. Another note about the drinks is that the cocktails are literally amazing. I can not find another place where I can compare them with. Very good place to be.

The O Bar is visually very appealing. The retro decor is just gorgeous and the owner has obviously taken a lot of time and effort finding the right pieces of furniture and art for the desired look. However as lovely as it is I find it gets too busy for me at night though and due to the position of the bar it's difficult to move around easily. It is much more chilled out during the daytime or early evening. The O Bar definitely worth a visit for the cocktails and to see the stunning flower chandelier upstairs (I'm so sad!)

Brilliant place for a girlie night out fantasic cocktails made by skilled staff! Funky retro interior and 50s stlye posters make for a relaxing cosmopolitan setting. Comfy seating is always a given in a retro style, very mismatched but it works so well!!!
Organic crisps are offered from the bar area including parsnip flavour!
You may experience a wait for your drink of twenty to thirty minutes ona weekened but the wait is always worth it, it does get busy and the drinks do average five minutes to make each but the fresh juices and fruits incded are an amazing touch.

The Oh Bar is cool, trendy and retro in the kookiest of ways! It has mix matched vintage furniture, lamps and décor which works wonderfully together, parts of the bar makes you feel like your sat in a 1970’s living room drinking a nummy well made cocktail.
The choice of drinks are good with great beers on tap, bottles, and a cocktail menu which you will find hard to get bored off, but its not the cheapest of places. But I feel the vibe and the look of the place more than makes up for the cost!
They don’t do food, and I am not sure of the wifi but it’s a great drinking location and worth a visit during the week when it a lot less crowd or if you like crowd popular places then the weekend is for you, but there always a wait at the bar as all the cocktails are freshly made by the staff and very popular!
