Bristol's bartenders are creating sinfully good cocktails all over the city, but not in the places you'd expect. They're actually in the places you wouldn't.

Some are works of art (thanks Banksy), others look like a five-year old has been let loose with a paintbrush. Red Light has the latter. I used to walk past its entrance without giving it a second thought until I discovered what was behind it.

So it's the perfect place for a secret Cabaret-esque bar. What Hausbar lacks in exterior it makes up for in liquor. Water is never an ingredient so beware their zombie cocktail. It got its name for a reason. Hyde & Co, Upper Byron
