Breakout Bar & Escape Rooms

If the words 'escape room' don't have you looking for the nearest exit then Breakout Bar may just be for you. Actually, given the calibre of the drinks at this time machine-slash-cocktail bar, it may be for you regardless.

Each escape room has a different theme, say medieval or the future, with different levels of difficulty. Groups have an hour to find their way out by solving a series of puzzles. It's the brainchild of two former coal miners, Brett Baker and Colin Bloomfield, and is designed to be an adventure rather than a scare-your-pants-off sort of fun.

Before embarking on their quest, each group gets some time in the cocktail lounge to limber up. If cocktails without the escape route are more your thing, the steampunk-themed bar serves up top-notch drinks and also hosts weekly whisky and cocktail masterclasses.
