opium bar

Witheyal

Hidden, intimate, quirky, cool. Had too many Mojitos with a lady friend here and a great night out - the place is both buzzy/lively and yet you can actually have a conversation with the people you're with. Well-priced, very well-made cocktails def. worth a try. Good age range from students to grownups. Friendly staff.Ask the owner (Fari) to book the secret room - just a great place to have a laugh if you're in a group of 8+, feels like a fin-de-siècle Parisien brothel, has its own cocktail bar, karaoke system etc. Awesome, intimate, funky, fun.

This bar is a must visit if in Bath. It is not the easiest to find, but the decor alone makes it worth visiting plus the cocktails are superb. I have been told that all the furniture is for sale, and every time I visit the furniture is totally different. It has a little bit of everything from a well in the floor, to sewing machines, an organ, pouffes, sofas, taxidermy, even a mock fresco on one of the ceilings. Opium is by far the quirkiest bar I have visited. Wherever in the world I am drinking I often think 'I wish this was more like Opium'.

We took a chance and went to the opium bar, we thought it would be too trendy for us however the staff put us at ease straight away and we finished a great night off with a few cocktails!! Really recommend this!!!

Went here for a drink with a friend based on a recommendation. Only went for one drink and ended up staying until closing. Fab staff who really know what they're doing, great drinks and really reasonably priced. Very quirky decor/atmosphere but it's fantastic, can't wait for my next visit!

Secretly hidden bar, decorated ever so different and tasteful.The drinks are the best in town made by skilled bar tenders. They know their drinks and how to make them and they always come up with new creations.Definitely a must see!

Ok, the staff seemed ok but didn't like the decor, atmosphere, music or the sickening strong incense smell - worse the further in one went. In the end we just couldn't get out quick enough!

10 of us visited the bar it's has a great atmosphere and decor. Very comfortable surroundings to relax and enjoy a drink. We got there quite late but the bar was still very lively and full of atmosphere. Only slight negative was from the very strong incense stick smells. I liked the smell but it was very overpowering....

We were so chuffed to find this bar in Bath, where there are so many lovely quirky bars and pubs, this was the best one we found all weekend. The staff were excellent, served the most amazing cocktails with real passion and enthusiasm - I can highly recommend getting Antonio to make you a Bloody Mary or asking for a Starburst. The layout of the seating areas make it very easy to mix with other people and the smell of incense on your clothes will remind you the next day of what a great night you've had (especially if you've had one too many cocktails!)

Amazing bar, drinks, decor, not to mention the nicest staff and doormen in bath. First time visit, will definitely be back soon. Thanks for a wonderful evening, no thanks for the headache ;)

Really wonderful venue quite nostalgic and excellent staff. The cocktail served were well made and of high quality. Wished I could have stayed longer than the single hour I had to spare. Will definitely visit again.

Went for a few drinks before a night out but could have stayed here all evening, lovely atmosphere with professional and knowledgeable staff.

I really can't praise this place highly enough!We hired the Secret Room for a hen party of 14 ladies on Saturday 1st November 2014.The room was small enough to be intimate but large enough to be comfortable.We had a karaoke machine, a private bar with a barman and toilet facilities.The decor was amazing!! A fantastic place! And the cocktails were delicious!We had a wonderful night!! Highly recommended!

Went for cocktails, staff were friendly and really knew what they were doing. Reminds of a funky Amsterdam coffee shop. Great decor, good music, nice vibe.

We had some idea where the bar was but it's not til you are close that you can smell it... The waft of incense hits you and draws you in to this little gem tucked away in the vaults..Mind your step as you enter, order a drink from the very friendly bar staff, find a seat amongst the very odd assortment of sofas and chairs, sit back and enjoy.If you're looking for a late night drink where people are friendly, easy going and relaxed then you'd be mad not to try this place outWe liked it so much we went back again on our last night as nothing else in town came close to beating this place!

The friend of mine and me went there to for a drink on our last night in England. We've visited many nice places in Bath but this one is simply the best! Dan made us feel more than welcome . Atmosphere, drinks and most importantly great staff make this place truly magical !
