In a paragraph
Liquor & Co is a small cocktail bar at 31 Watergate Row South, with low lighting, bookable booths and a drinks list that rewards asking the bar team for a steer.
What it's like
This is a drinking bar, not a restaurant or a holding pen before a club. Cocktails take most of the attention, with beer, wine and no/low choices for the person who does not want another elaborate glass.
Small bar, thoughtful cocktails
The staff are used to working from a preferred spirit or flavour rather than leaving everyone to decode the list alone. Later at the weekend the room gets louder and busier, so go earlier if the conversation matters as much as the drinks.
Worth knowing
The compact room can become louder than its low lighting suggests, and the Rows location creates uncertain step-free access. Go earlier for a calmer visit and check the route directly if stairs are a concern.
