For one night only, 297 goes back in time to 1920s Prohibition America. A time where parties roared, but in secret. Passwords and “if-you-know-you-know” were your only key to the soiree 🤫🍸

So, step in to our rooftop speakeasy. You’ll need a password to enter, but we promise it’ll be worth the secrecy…

Live jazz will greet you; with Jazz Social being the soundtrack for the evening, a collective of some amazing jazz musicians playing into the night. We’ll have a Prohibition cocktail menu for this evening only, with specials at 2 for £15 all night. Each special cocktail giving you a taste of 1920s glamour!

Our regular cocktail menu will also be available, with our regular happy hour available from 5pm-7pm.

Want in? Tickets are £10pp and you can book yours now via: https://www.designmynight.com/uk/bars/wales/297-rooftop-bar/prohibition-party?t=tickets

but don’t share the password 🤫
