Cocktails in ED & surrounding area

I used to get through 6 by 6 in the Bar Story Happy Hour - and it only started at 5. I did pick up a ban for my troubles (commuted now though!)

Cocktails are a MAHOOSIVE money maker for bars. Usually containing very little alcohol, so lots of money for a sugary drink. A very good cocktail barman (I refuse to say "mixologist") once said that you'd be crazy to buy anything much other than a martini or manhattan, as pretty much everything else is a rip off. I love me a vodka martini. Very dry, with a twist.

Defintely recommend Communion- what a crazy place and cocktails!

Thanks for all these suggestions. I already liked the look of The Communion Bar. Little Nan's is new to me. I live just off Lordship Lane so it's a shame it seems there are no actual cocktail bars on LL (or even in ED). The ones mentioned all look to be restaurants that serve cocktails.

Thanks for the clarification on the H.O.T., Jeremy. I'll investigate it!

I'm afraid I do not rate the Communion Bar. The cocktail list looks really interesting but the cocktails fail to deliver. The Crooked Well is usually great for cocktails; though on the last occasion the barman had no idea how to make a dirty martini - but there again I was ordering one on a Saturday lunchtime so I probably got what I deserved!

    • Happy to recommend Greg. He replaced an electric shower for us, at the reasonable price agreed, with minimum fuss and no mess
    • It is hard to believe this was not considered well in advance, either by the council or by GALA. Cllr Catherine Rose is adamant she wants to monetise parks, so this is a way to justify changing the event footprint  and creates precedent for yet more changes and park event creep.
    • Those fences are around the newly created bunds. I'm assuming to protect the new planting? I know Gala said on Wednesday meeting they had to put their fences around the bunds to ensure they were not damaged,  apparently wild flowers have been planted there. The flood alleviation works was to protect houses from flooding not the park,  that area of the park always floods as lowest part with river Peck underneath.  It will be interesting to see how Gala manage if we have heavy rain in May!
    • Apart from being yet another eyesore in our lovely park the track is going to be 5 metres wide, that’s wider than my living room! By the time this is installed it will be too late for people to object. This must be rethought, even more of our park is being given over to GALA. The council didn’t factor in HGV access when they planned the flood alleviation works and now they expect park goers to suffer further. Complaints might help, worth a try but needs to be before the consultation ends on Feb 10th
