Super friendly staff who were happy to make something off list. Helpful and great drinks. Chill little venue vibe that even when not supper full felt good.
Love going here and trying new drinks! They have a wheel of flavour profile that you can pick from and they’ll make a personalised drink according!
On my first visit to Crumpet Bar-Cafe I was served my first-ever bleached (white!) Mocachino, the stuff of Blondie dreams (and the taste was just as insipid). Not for me though, where's the coffee, the chocolate, the caffeine? Ain't no sunshine when she's gone ... bar-man give me gold, bronze, tan, sierra ... anything but Albino No-Fix!! The quirky premise itself is an old, unpretentious, shabby-chic "hole-in-the-wall" (actually more shabby than chic) with two walled-over doors (to the Opera House), old fixtures and fittings and photo-adorned walls. The bar is well patronised at night and is conveniently located next door to the Opera House so a quick zip-in for a fast apéritif before the show begins is doable and afterwards, you can linger longer for an inebriating night cap before heading home. No need to hail Uber/Ola because the bus stop is literally on your door-step.
Once I got in, I was captured by the character set up in this pub& restaurant. Most of the deco photos have been selected well following the unique theme. Want to see some old classic nude women photo? Right place here. Want to find your style of cocktail? Right place here, it is more than a pub, it also offer you a attractive piece of unique gallery wall with large information. Here I am.
Amazing service even when it’s packed with people waiting for the Opera House. Delicious Hot Chocolates.
