In a paragraph
The Cabinet Club is the hidden cocktail room at Liquor & Co on Watergate Street, useful for dates, late drinks, private hire, birthdays, cocktail masterclass-style nights and small groups.
What it's like
The Cabinet Club is attached to Liquor & Co rather than behaving like a separate pub on the street. The point is the hidden-room effect: ask for the caretaker, step away from the main bar and make the cocktail stop feel a little more deliberate.
Upstairs cocktails, slower and darker
It is best treated as a planned late-drink or private-hire option. If you just want a pint, a bar stool and no theatre, stay downstairs or pick a pub.
Worth knowing
The Cabinet Club works because it knows exactly what it is: a small hidden cocktail room. That also means it is not useful for everything. Book it when the theatre helps; skip it when you just want a normal bar.
