You might like to be a little more descriptive?

Are you talking about Vodka Revolution which has been on Mappin Street for about 2 years? Or the new one that is part of the West One complex?

Neither.

I was returning from Crookes on the 52 last night and on the left hand side of the road (going into town) about where West Street tramstop is I think, there was an archway in the building with simply the word Vodka (or Tequila possibly - maybe I was confusing my spirits in my memory, I had had a few pints by then) and a queuing rope.

It's called "Tequila". I remember reading about it somewhere on the internet... I thought it was this forum, but can't see to find the thread, so I guess it got deleted for advertising :lol:

I seem to remember it being a restaurant bar...

(I'm going to change the thread title now to reflect the fact that it's not a "vodka establishment" ;) ... )

it is called TEQUILA - its run/owned by the same people who have the viva tequila restaurant in gleadless.

i think its just a bar - my friend brought me the drinks menu to peruse as we are gonna pop in there soon. theres one brandy on it that costs like £26 a shot! the other drinks are reasonable tho!

I can personally reccomend it as a nice drinking establishment.. it's brand new and opened on saturday. popped in last night when walkign past and had a Long Island Iced Tea. It's a little more expensive than your average bar but it isn't your average bar. it's more of a high end bar. i quite liked it and they had live music with a latino and funk driven edge.

Once it settles in I think it could be a successful and nice little place..

I noticed it earlier tonight whilst walking past it on the way to Takapuna. Looks pretty good from the outside anyway :)...

well, with my 'super turbo cocktail' behaviour you would think so, but i'm not really - i'm a graduate with a full time job but studying part time for my masters.

i can assure you we only mixed 2 cocktails together and am a respectable citizen.
