The Bar at No.15
Quick Verdict
Locals praise it when the kitchen's on, but one recent visitor got a cold burger after a long wait and won't return — consistency matters at £50–60 a head. The cocktails and service are reliable; the food less so.
You want cocktails that aren't standard (cherry sidecar, mezcal margarita) in a quiet Georgian setting where your dog's actually welcome and the staff remember your name.
About The Bar at No.15
The Bar at No.15 sits inside a Georgian townhouse on Great Pulteney Street and works as a cocktail bar with food, not a restaurant that happens to have drinks. The space is small and deliberate — reviewers mention discovering things all over the place, artistic touches, a chandelier that gets noticed in reception. Dogs are genuinely welcome (not just tolerated). The menu's short. Cocktails are the draw: reviewers name-check the cherry sidecar and mezcal margarita specifically. Food runs to charcuterie boards, risotto, sirloin, duck cooked to order. Service is attentive enough that staff remember your name (Annis and Niamh get personal shout-outs). It's part of a hotel, so you can drink by the fire and stay the night. The place feels cosy and trendy, which means it fills with groups and tourists but also works for solo diners. The chocolate mousse gets mentioned. Potatoes fried in beef fat got called outstanding.
What Stands Out
Cocktails that aren't forgettable
Multiple reviewers name specific drinks: cherry sidecar, mezcal margarita. One called them 'amazing and creative'. Another praised the 'variety of top quality spirits and wines with reasonable prices'.
Staff who actually engage
A couple got a 'special shout out to Annis & to Niamh for being the friendliest bar team we have ever met'. Another said 'extremely friendly staff and excellent drink selection'. Service is described as 'attentive'.
Genuinely dog-friendly space
Multiple reviewers mention dogs. One specifically praised it as 'Genuinely dog friendly rather than dog tolerant'. Another dined 'in the bar area with my dog and felt right at home'.
What Customers Say
Lunch burger cold and overcooked accompanied by unappealing mashed potato filling,after a very long wait.
We are local and have had previous good experiences at no 15 but shall not be returning, but will spread the word.
