Why we love it

You've probably whiled away many a night at The Joker – we've certainly lost more memories than we care to remember in that most gloriously boozy of establishments. What you might not realise, though, is that tucked away upstairs there lurks a fore more elegant, sophisticated going-on.

Upstairs @ The Joker (it's a creative name, we know...) is a lovingly refurbished and invitingly luxurious affair – an elegant cocktail and games room that decorated to the most stunning degree. Expect lavish soft furnishings, plush velvet seating, high ceilings and a hand-carved rosewood bar. On the menu are a stunning array of classic cocktails – and a few cheeky twists, too.

Cheers...
