Live Entertainment, Cocktails & Barbershop hidden in plain sight

One Eight Six is a classic cocktail bar and live music venue, hidden away underneath a high-end barbershop.

At first glance, One Eight Six appears to be a stylish barbershop, however behind a mirrored door sits an all-night drinking den, reminiscent of those found in New York during the roaring twenties and prohibition.

Located in the beating heart of the city centre, One Eight Six occupies a Grade II-listed building with a vast and rich history itself. By day, the barbers provides a full hair cutting and styling service, but as night falls and the haze of twilight sets in, it is transformed into a bustling live music bar, the only place to be.

Conceptualised by owner and founder, Dean Mac, a renowned entertainer in the city, One Eight Six provides unrivalled experiences for guests, a decidedly sophisticated escape.

With attention to detail, behind the mirrored door, lies the impressive décor of the main bar, with dim lighting and intimate seating, providing a cozy air of sophistication. The centrepoint however, the One Eight Six stage that sees a dazzling array of nightly live entertainment.

The live music offering is curated by Dean Mac himself, bringing an exciting line-up of musicians playing motown, jazz, RnB and soul.
