Had a really great time at The Rabbit Hole. The vibes inside is cozy and the room was energetic on a Wednesday evening. We had a couple of cocktails from the favourites. We recommend trying the Duke of Jalisco and Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle! We really enjoyed the Sausage Roll to snack on with our drinks and the Rabbit Hole Crumpet.
