CALLOOH CALLAY
This is a quirky Lewis Carroll themed cocktail bar with several impressive awards under its belt - a must. You won't be served a Tom Collins or a Mojito here as the bar is inspired by Lewis Carroll’s nonsense poem ‘The Jabberwockey’. But it serves memorable cocktails nonetheless so start with a ‘Builder’s Breakfast’, three types of rum, lemon sherbet, and tea syrup. Curious.
