Best for
Relaxed drinks with a small groupMusic-led nights with a playful atmosphere

THE GHETTO is deliberately unconventional: a compact bar where graffiti-covered walls, fluorescent colours and UV lighting create an irreverent, almost underground atmosphere.

It is less about polished formality and more about an expressive, relaxed night out.

The drinks list covers beer, cocktails, wine and spirits, with food available for a casual bite alongside the bar programme. The compact layout suits small groups looking for somewhere distinctive and unpretentious, while delivery and takeaway extend the same offering beyond the room.

Cocktails, wine, spirits and beer are joined by a substantial food menu, including seafood, small plates and desserts. Comfortable seating and a tucked-away setting add to its sense of discovery, while the concept rewards visitors who care as much about sound and atmosphere as the drinks themselves.

The Drawing Room and The St. Regis Bar #14

The service is often warm and attentive, and the setting can work equally well for a casual meal, a celebratory night or drinks with friends. Its balance of approachable food, cocktails and entertainment makes HYDE more versatile than a purely drinks-focused bar. Advance booking is recommended for karaoke or other high-demand evenings.
