10/04/2024

Entering The Dark Horse in Bath felt like stepping into a clandestine world hidden beneath the city's surface. From the outside, it was inconspicuous, blending seamlessly into the streetscape, giving no hint of the treasure trove that lay beneath. As I descended the stairs into its underground lair, I was enveloped in a dimly lit ambiance, the flickering red lights and dancing candles casting shadows that whispered of mystery and intrigue.

The air was thick with the sweet aroma of cocktails, each one a tantalizing promise of flavor waiting to be discovered. The walls were lined with shelves of spirits, their labels illuminated by the soft glow of candlelight, while bartenders expertly mixed concoctions behind the bar.

The menu boasted an impressive selection of drinks, ranging from classic cocktails to innovative creations, each one bursting with natural flavors and expertly crafted to perfection. While the prices varied from £12 to £20 per drink, every penny was well worth it for the sensory journey that awaited.

I found myself drawn to a concoction infused with fragrant herbs and citrus notes, a symphony of flavors that danced on my palate with each sip. Talli and I reveled in the delight of each cocktail, savoring the moment as we lost ourselves in the ambiance of The Dark Horse.

Booking our table was a breeze, thanks to the seamless and user-friendly online system. I even had to adjust our booking time on the same day, and it was done with no hassle whatsoever. The Dark Horse truly lived up to its reputation as a hidden gem of Bath, offering an unforgettable experience that left us craving more.
