Thank you Sarah. We particularly enjoyed your Class. Your party was full of all the positive energy that we needed to sustain us through anorher chaotic Christmas of parties, cocktails and private events. Please come back soon. All the best, Marcus

Toby, It was a sincere joy to host your party of 6. From the 'Amaretto Sour' to our very special, very limited 'Seespresso Martini' Cocktail and the many wonderful drinks in between, your beverage journey was as impressive as your courteous custom. Thank you for your excellent company and kind words on reflection. The bad reviews amuse me, but the good ones sustain our team and point the reader toward another fabulous night at Hidden Rooms. My very best wishes on behalf of all here. Marcus.

Thank you, AP! Your wonderful organisational skills helped. It was a great way to introduce Kieron to the delights of Hidden Rooms and we look forward to seeing him throughout his university career at Cambridge. Best wishes, Marcus, Julie and all at Hidden Rooms

Dear S2185XPwillb, I love YOUR energy! What a great review. Thanks so much for enjoying our cocktails and hospitality so much. All the best, Marcus

Thank you for that splendid review, Alison. I've passed your kind comments on to your bartender. They loved you too! I'm thrilled that you had a great time and 'value for money' and your recommendation means the world to us. All the very best wishes from the whole team at Hidden Rooms. Marcus

Thanks BJBOB! It looks like you completely fell for our evil plan to make you like us. Mwwwaaahhh ha ha ha ha! All the best, Marcus & The Team at Hidden Rooms

Kieran B, Thank you for the short time you have taken to submit a collection of words on our tripadvisor page. I assure you that the frustration, self-doubt, anger, anxiety and potential damage that such a silly review of our 'better than average' cocktails, leaves a bitter taste, which lasts a lot longer than it took to you write them. If we're 'better than average', why give us a score that equates to average? Because you want more pages in a menu? There are fifteen daily cocktails on offer and a minimum of eight gin and tonics, that change daily, are printed on recycled paper and then, in turn are recycled into waiters' order pads, but that doesn't stop us from making any drink under the sun, that we have the knowledge of, and the ingredients for. Most guests challenge us to deliver DURING their visit. It's fun and we like it. Just why, you choose to bring your disappointment to our attention in a public forum, three weeks after your visit, rather than on the night, when we could have dusted off and provided you with a cherished thirty page, leather-bound cocktail menu from pre-covid, pre-worried-about-sharing 2019, is baffling! They are still here Kieran. We just don't use them anymore - don't bother asking yourself why that is, if you didn't already know. We've opted instead, in these 'troubling economic times', to have a closer relationship with our guests, limiting the table size to an intimate 'four guest maximum' and explaining our way through our daily cocktail menu, as well as advising about the infinite possibilities for going 'off-menu'. I'm getting nowhere am I Kieran? Try this instead... I remember reading reviews before the lockdowns. The reduction in usefulness since then is such a shame. The points on offer are still points, but they're not the same. A simple example is getting a guest who chooses telepathy when deciding on their Martini. The same guest. who incidentally, did not order a Martini, but did ironically, choose a selection of House Originals and one Vieux Carré for himself and partner at table 7 on October 1st, over the course of their ninety minute, pre-booked visit for two and reported to our waiter on every 'guest check-back', that all drinks were enjoyed. Previously, we had conversations and discussions before making drinks. Now? Despite actually having fifteen specials on a daily, printed menu as well as a collective staff knowledge of thousands of precise, high-quality cocktails, nope. I'm sure these guests would love a great drink, but now they just run away and moan on social media about something they're not even sure about, three weeks after their visit, which can't compare to the old conversations we used to have. Maybe making up misleading stories about group bookings and ?gift packages? (what are you talking about?) are the only phrases they can conjure, as they drown in a sea of ambiguity and careless, lazy, pseudo-journalism. Hopefully they'll return to more visitor-focused offerings in future. But I won't hold my breath. Sometimes, there's no benefit in offering another chance.

Thanks for the detailed review. You should work in our marketing dept. Thank you though Emily K. It means the world to recieve such praise. We're just thrilled that you had a great time. We'll strive to keep improving, so that the next time you visit, you'll be even more impressed. Best wishes, Marcus and The Team at Hidden Rooms

Well, you were just brilliant too. Thanks for making my response, so easy to write. All the best Marcus & The Team at Hidden Rooms

Hi lizzylizzard124, Thank you for taking the time to write about your Cocktail Experience(s) at Hidden Rooms in Cambridge. With 1000's of cocktail possibilities, hopefully we'll keep you coming back time and again. We've done Rum once and Gin twice, we've still got to explore tequilas, brandies, whiskies, vodkas, liqueurs.... this is going to take a while! Best wishes, Marcus & team
