So good we went twice in one day and can't wait to return. Well worth a visit, some of the best cocktails in Birmingham in a relaxed environment. Great concept with an emphasis on quality ingredients. There is a limit of 30 customers at a time meaning that you'll always be able to find a seat and get a level of service that means you'll spend more time with your friends rather than in a queue at a bar.
Great new concept in Birmingham, very Scandinavian vibe! Really relaxed atmosphere and really great variety of cocktails. Very original ideas that I’ve never really seen anywhere else. Definitely worth a visit, looking forward to coming back!
Wow, our new favourite cocktail bar. Quirky with a fab menu and fantastic knowledge, and not a sign of that staple of many other "cocktail" bars in Birmingham, popcorn
What an experience! Thank you so much for a great evening. If you are looking for perfection from a responsible and highly knowledgeable business this is a must.
If you're looking for a bar that serves incredible cocktails with excellent service to boot, then 18/81 is it.
This is no doubt the bar to watch in Birmingham!! Try the silver patron infused with wild strawberries �����
superb cocktails. great environment and service. Already a contender for best bar in the midlands if not beyond
Great cocktails, friendly atmosphere and service. Well worth a visit!
Quality drinks served by lovely people in a great venue. Love it.
Great addition to Birmingham’s bar scene. Beautifully crafted drinks, chilled out atmosphere and super nice barmen who clearly know what they are doing. Rate this highly and will be back as soon as I can. Good job
From the moment you walk in you know this will be special! We had four cocktails, one of which wasn't on the menu but was made for me after I chatted to the lovely mixologist about my love of a particular perfume ingredient! Absolutely lovely staff, and the cocktails are a cut above the rest. Super special.
Quite difficult to find, even though I had a good idea where it was.
Amazing cocktails, very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Nice space, good atmosphere.
The effort it takes to find 18/81 is more than rewarded by the imagination of the menu, the quality of the drinks and the passion of the staff. Calling it the best bar in the area doesn't do it justice; it's closer to an imaginatively themed Michelin restaurant, but one serving amazing booze.
Delicious cocktails served really quickly by knowledgeable and friendly staff. It's the place to go if you want to sit and sip and really appreciate your drink. Quite cool how it is hidden away and a bit secret. The atmosphere was just right for a catch-up with friends. There's inoffensive background music that you can easily talk over. Lovely bar.
Wonderful hidden gem of a place. Amazing cocktail bar. I would highly recommend this place. If u are looking for something different and inspiring, then look no further. Don't be put off by the exterior of the building, it's what's inside that counts. I've never had such amazing cocktails! Thank you
I have been to this place twice, discovered it through a friend. I love their attention to details and their carefully crafted cocktails. If you are interested, you can get the whole story behind it and understand the reasoning behind the pairing of ingredients. If you don't mind to pay a bit more and you are looking for quality over quantity, this is the perfect place for you!
Love this place! The drinks are so unusual but absolutely delicious. The staff are super friendly and know everything there is to know about the drinks they serve, which is brilliant. The whole idea of a "secret location" makes it all the more fun. Will definitely be going back soon!
Loved it here. We've only been once but keep meaning to go back. It's nice to be in a bar and be bale to actually have a conversation. The staff were friendly and the drinks were amazing! We will be back soon as we love independent places and you can tell that a lot of love and effort has gone into the place.
We've been twice now and loved it both times! Difficult to find but worth it once you do! Apart from the amazing cocktails (which are all really interesting and unique) the service and experience was second to none. Really friendly but not overfacing. The people who served us were very knowledgable about every cocktail (which is quite a feet seeming as there's probably 30 or so cocktails on the menu). Only thing I'd say is I noticed on our most recent visit that they've started doing small meaty snacks, please add cheese!!! We'll definitely be back :)
Phenomenal secret bar which was well worth the search.
We were greeted at the door by a very friendly gentleman who showed us in and seated us.
There is a fantastic range of cocktails which change quarterly. It is pricey but well worth it and I'd say no more expensive than some of the other cocktail bars in Birmingham where you'd struggle to get served, the music is too loud and quality of drinks isn't quite as good.
Staff were really nice and answered any questions we had about the drinks we were ordering, they also helped with recommendations. They offer a table service policy and come over for your order before you finish the drink you are on. There was background music on which was suited but also meant you could sit and chat and not have to shout across the table at each other.
I'd definitely go back here again and would be interested in doing one of their cocktail tastings and trying some of their 'bar snacks'
A must for people who have the independent Birmingham card.
