Lovely cocktails, Gorgeous Bar. Dreadful customer service. 6 of us spent well in excess of £100 for 2 drinks each and then were asked, nay told, to vacate our table, which (unlike most of the other tables) had no 'reserved' sign on it. Obnoxious (Assistant?) Manager with absolutely no social deportment or PR expertise. Will not be recommending to my Clients!
Boo
recommend this place you must be mad. It's chav and vile. Would'nt be caught dead in there a second time. A girl could get a bad name being seen in there. I'm just insulted the door staff let me in they clearly mistook me for an coke fan that would welcome the advances sleezey men for whom a song comes mind. The great prentender. The food was ok. A lot of a certain type of person in here and it's not footballers and celebs.

I Went to panacea a few weeks ago with my work colleagues, after a meal at el Rincon, And I found it to be excellent, The cocktails were so fabulous, And I thought it was very ambient...Fantastic

I was inspired to visit by a review that described the food as "bonsai" in style - i.e. perfect miniatures. I was delighted by the menu that you can order many (or few) dishes that you like to selfishly devour or share amongst you. It may be difficult to share the "mini cheese-burger" though (two mouthfuls - tops). There seem to be no obvious starters or main courses inviting a comparison to multi-nation tapas (pan-Asian, Mancunian and American but bigger than a tapas dish). It means that you invariably have space for a dessert (and what a wonderful choice of "bonsai" desserts!). The wine list is miniscule and unadventurous; the champagne collection is pretentious, but the cocktails are extremely impressive. You can just go and drink and pose without eating. The ambience is a combination of "sex in the city" and "footballers' wives". I liked it - a lot.
Panacea
I haven? actually eaten here, but as it's listed as a bar I thought I'd comment on the cocktails, which are fantastic. Vanilla Mojito absolutely sublime. They have some seriously good Brazilian cocktail staff here, and the bar itself is stunning. Definitely the benchmark bar in town now, everybody else play catch up.
