The Hidden Gem

Tucked away on Aberdeen Street, Ambassador Bar feels tailor‑made for winter nights. Step inside and you’ll find plush seating, vintage lamps and a cocktail list that leans towards being indulgent and imaginative.

Ambassador Bar's Turkish Delight Cocktail Fry's Delight

This season, it’s all about comforting yet creative sips like their Turkish Delight inspired Fry’s Delight with chocolate Baileys and rose syrup, or their Banoffee Pie influenced, Jevington Jubilee, blending Baileys, banana liqueur and caramel. Those who prefer something more spirit‑forward, their elegant twists on classics like the Old Fashioned and Manhattan warm you up without overwhelming the palate.

It’s the kind of spot where you can settle in, unwind, and let the winter weather feel like part of the atmosphere rather than something to avoid.

In the colder months, Northbridge bars lean into richness and spice: creamy liqueurs, caramel notes, warming rums and house‑made syrups. Candlelit tables feel cozier, and even familiar favourites taste better when there’s a chill outside.

So next time the temperature drops, don’t rush home. Wrap up warm and discover why Northbridge’s cocktail scene feels even more inviting in winter, especially when a nightcap at Ambassador Bar is waiting at the end.
