About Spy Bar

Downstairs from Cosmica, its Mexican sister restaurant in the Wildlife Hospitality group alongside The Beehive, the space mixes a long polished bar, red banquettes under spotlit curtains and a record wall behind a turntable setup with oversized yellow speakers. The pitch is a club for grown-ups: the floor opens from 7 PM, programming runs mainly Thursday to Saturday, and weekly themes move between house, soul, funk and disco. Guests can start with dinner upstairs and finish on the dancefloor below. Cocktails are strong and inventive, and staff win praise for rescuing a cancelled event night with card games and drinks. Other reviews report a quiet Friday, a shortened drink menu and, in one case, homophobic remarks from a bartender. Google files spend at $20–30 a head and rates it 4.0 from about 130 reviews.
