Walking in, the sheer variety of cocktails took me by surprise, each one more creative than the last. it felt like a breath of fresh air compared to other places I’d been, where menus often seem uninspired. staff were also quite knowledgeable, which made choosing just one drink quite the challenge .

Value for money is hit or miss here. Cocktails are decent but can get pricey if you’re not careful, and some nights it feels overly packed, which leads to long waits. Staff are friendly and try to keep things moving, but if you’re on a budget, it’s a bit tricky to enjoy a full night without counting every penny .

Walking into this place feels welcoming right away because of the staff who actually remember your name after just a few visits. it’s those little moments that make a night out feel more personal and not just another random spot to hit up.

First time coming here was solid, but after a few months it's still a go-to spot. the staff has kept the energy fresh with new cocktails that surprise me every time. it never feels like the same old place, which is impressive in a city where so many hangouts can get stale

Good cocktails and a laid-back vibe make it worth a visit, especially on weeknights when it's less packed. staff are chill, which makes for relaxed conversations with friends. while not the best nightlife option, i’d swing by again for a low-key evening with drinks and good tunes

Sometimes it feels a bit too loud here, making conversation tricky, but the energy is always lively and keeps you engaged.

This place has a lively atmosphere that draws in a youthful crowd, which can be a mix of university students and locals. the music is a big highlight, often keeping the energy high and making it hard to resist hitting the dance floor. while the prices are reasonable, be prepared for some queues during busy times, especially on weekends, so getting there early is a good idea.

Drinks here don’t quite justify their prices; while the cocktails are decent, it feels like you’re paying for the ambiance more than the quality. I'd rather save my cash for somewhere more worthwhile.

Loud music at High Spirits made it hard to chat, but the energy was contagious and added to the fun atmosphere.
