Jekyll & Hyde

Top choice in Birmingham


Potent cocktails (or rather 'elixirs, concoctions and potions') at this trippy spot are served in sweets jars, watering cans, teapots and miniature bathtubs – even a top hat. Downstairs, Mr Hyde’s emporium has a cosy drawing room and an Alice in Wonderland–themed courtyard; upstairs is Dr Jekyll’s Gin Parlour with more than 90 different gins.
