The story

A hideaway behind a passcode that changes every few days, where every cocktail tells a story.

PCO opened its unmarked door in 2012 and has since built a loyal following, at home and abroad, for its cocktails and its intimate, low-lit room.

Every drink on the menu carries a story drawn from fabrics, a nod to the historic textile neighbourhood the bar calls home. The food is simple and wholesome, built around quality ingredients rather than fuss.

Getting in is part of the ritual. Entry needs a passcode that changes two to three times a week, which keeps PCO a true hideaway for the regulars who know where to find it.
