The enthusiastic staff here use only premium spirits and fresh fruit, making a notable difference to the taste. Among the classic and eccentric modern cocktails is Ibblekauga, a blend of apple liqueur, apples, sugar, cinnamon and lemon that's reminiscent of apple pie. The venue itself is all dark wood and the crowd always lively.
