Rococo

I’ve had some good times here, but sadly, I think Rococo’s Glory Days are behind it now.
The staff here used to broadcast classic movies like Pulp Fiction from a projector onto its back wall, serving as an unusual and welcomed backdrop to an evening of cocktail-​sipping and trash talking.
But there’s little to distinguish it now from the surrounding city centre bars. Most of the times I’ve been in here, the men outnumber the women four to one, quite possibly because Rococo offers easy access to the Fantasy Lounge, which is located right next door.
The bartenders at Rococo do, however, mix a mean drink, which could make up for the lack of atmosphere. One of my all-​time favourites is the «Dirty Little Rococo» which is a cocktail of crushed berries and vodka served in a tall glass. Dangerous and delicious — exactly what I want in a cocktail.

Rococo is an independently owned cocktail bar that is awash in 70’s décor. With all the colours under the rainbow slapped on the wall you wouldn’t be shouted at for checking what exactly has been put in your drink.
The drinks are fairly expensive in here but you do get better quality liquors etc being used so that’s fair enough.
Your pretty much going to find young professionals and office types in here, probably not great for the atmosphere then. It’s all a bit too poser-​y in here as the peacocks strut around with their feathers up looking for a female partner.
Unfortunately, because a s a venue it looks lovely and is great it’s independently owned, just a shame about the crowd.
