Driven by the spirit of the Irish Playwright, our bar pays homage to his genuinely prolific story. Oscar Wilde turns the Victorian Era on its head. Without relinquishing any of its glamour. Just like Wilde himself, we believe life should be lived to its fullest, with a touch of sophisticated debauchery. Why miss out on the fun?

Love the “tea” luncheon experience. It’s very expensive but lovely. Food is always good but again, seems incredibly expensive for what you are served. Service was excellent and we loved our waiter “elvis”

This is my second time coming to this teatime. It was awesome as the first however, what I think is as important as the quality of the food and chocolates was the experience of the ambience. Jonny (the trouble maker) has made both this experience and the last one equally as enjoyable. Next time I will call in advance and make sure he’s there before booking.
