Best cocktails in Lancaster and super service. Very knowledgeable lady behind the bar that put great effort into making our drinks and was chatty at the same time which was nice. It's table service. We were given a card to turn over when we wanted another drink which is a great idea and we received super quick service. I'm not keen on the high metal stools that are hard to get on if you are a shorter or 'larger' person and they make a lot of noise as they scrape on the floor or bang into the table legs. I would love to give 5 stars but sadly I've been to nicer looking places and had cheaper cocktails as good in other cities. Would be nice to see some other offers on the menu such as buy 1 get one for 1/2 price as they are very expensive when buying individually.

This isn't just the best cocktail bar in Lancaster, but it's the best I've ever been to. The staff are always on hand (especially with the ordering system) and are knowledgable, good fun and up for customising you a drink to order. It's absolutely brilliant here - some would say pricey, but I personally believe you get what you pay for. The owner is fantastic too, a great night out always. The range of drinks and menu is great, and there's something for everyone. There is a lack of beer, but it's a cocktail bar! Tipple attracts a slightly less rowdy crowd than other bars on the main streets, but has a buzzing atmosphere nonetheless. The selection of board games available is a brilliant addition to the night - makes it so much more fun! Must visit in Lancaster!

We were really disappointed by the ambiance, attitude of the bar person and the one who welcomed us in, or should say didn't, to Tipple. The atmosphere between the two guys working was strained to say the least. We realise this bar is probably aimed at under 25's however if anyone willing to spend money there whatever their age should be made to feel welcome. Anne and William Fenton

Was expecting a very professional service and good atmosphere however our experience was far from this. Being hassled by a rude bartender for not wearing a mask when he did not see me clearing wearing on. Furthermore shouting at people to stop singing happy birthday completly ruined the atmosphere when everyone was having a good time. The bartender in question had long curly black hair and im surprised he was given a role which required a professional and friendly approach.

If I could give 0 stars I would. I went to tipple a few weeks ago, I thought my disappointment and anger for how I was treated at this establishment is immeasurable. I asked a simple question. I was with 2 friends (so three of us all together) and we had ordered 3 cocktail plus a fourth cocktail that we all wanted to try as we had never had this before. I asked if we could have 2 extra glasses to split the cocktail in order to limit the spread of germs due to COVID. Now I would have been fine if they had said no as they wanted to limit the spread of germs, limit glasses they were given out etc. BUT NO. I was called extremely rude by the waiter for asking for this. It was a simple ask. When I asked why this was rude very politely as I wanted to understand and thought there would be a genuine reason I was told that it was very very rude to ask this. If we all wanted to try the drink we should order three and it was ridiculous for me to ask this. All I wanted was to not share a glass during covid. Their argument would be fair if we were all sharing one drink but no we had all ordered a drink each and then we had ordered this as an extra drink to try to see if we like it. Bare in mind this is not a cheap place to drink in the Lancaster area. This place charges a premium for its drinks only to be treated with animosity. I have told many of my friends about this experience as I have never been called rude before in my life as I am not rude and they have vowed to not come back to this establishment also This upset me deeply. I will not be coming back. In any other establishment it would be about trying to help a paying guest. This I was treated with hostility. I was scolded by friends by not reporting how I was treated to a manager but this will have to do :( just be aware if you Go here and ask for service you will be treated as an inconvenience and almost every other pub in Lancaster will treat you with respect and go the extra mile for you so maybe try supporting other places around as there are many golden places

On my second visit to tipple after a good experience, I was shocked at the poor and rude service I received from one of the bar staff. First, I asked if there were any drinks deals available to which the response was “no, if you’re looking for a cheap cocktail you may want to try somewhere else, but I can assure you the money is worth it.” Then, the bar man overheard a conversation with my friend about how I enjoy a certain cocktail that wasn’t on the menu. The member of staff whilst making the other drink asked which one it was, I stated it, to which he replied “if you like that cocktail love then you really don’t belong here.” It made me feel very uncomfortable and unwelcome, but as a friend had already ordered his drink we had to remain there. Then, I ordered an El Presidente, one of my other favourites that I have had at numerous other cocktail bars. The member of staff spilt the first attempt across the whole bar and proceeded to make it again. It was very unpleasant tasting compared to the drinks of my other friends, with lacking alcohol measures (which my other friend noticed as she works in a bar herself). It was not a good take on this normally enjoyable drink. We will not be returning.

Short Story: We went to Koko Bento in Lancaster for the first time today and had a really awful experience. Everything was normal, the service was nice and the restaurant was pretty quiet (went at 17.30pm ish). We were shown to our table by waitress no.2 and left to pick our food. When looking at the menu, we noticed that it specified if the chicken dishes had thigh meat. So my husband chose the "Mochiko Chicken Curry" because he really doesn't like thigh meat (makes him feel sick). When the mains arrived, he took a bite and said that it was definitely thigh meat and that he couldn't eat it. He flagged waitress no.1 and said to her that he was really sorry, but the main was chicken thigh meat and that he couldn't eat it, so please could he send it back and get another main. Waitress no.1 said that because he had ordered it and didn't ask about the meat, that it was his fault. My husband repeated again he was sorry, but he couldn't eat the food so could he change meal. Then waitress no.1 went and asked waitress no.2 (who was downstairs) who said it was our fault and that the ingredients were already used so he had to pay for the food he couldn't eat plus a new main. We said politely that this wasn't right and that we wouldn't pay for the main that my husband didn't eat. The other waiter then brang my main (which was good and I thanked him) and saw that it was getting a bit heated and he tried descalate the situation which we thanked him for. Waitress no.1 then rang the manager who wasn't in and tried to make us speak to this manager over the phone (while I was eating my main), which was pretty rude and inappropriate. After my husband said he didn't want to talk to a manager over the phone and that again he wouldn’t be paying for food he didn't eat - we were left alone by the waitresses. When I finished my main, we went downstairs to pay the bill. Waitress no.2 was at the till and asked if we were going to pay for "everything" in an annoyed tone. And we calmly said we wanted to pay but wouldn't pay for the mochiko chicken curry that wasn't eaten. She then began to argue at us that it was our fault, didn't we know this was a business, we should pay because they had wasted ingredients, etc, in a raised voice, which was very unprofessional. We again said that yes, we could have double-checked about the chicken in the dish, but as it wasn't eaten that we categorically weren't paying for it but were happy to pay for everything else. She then told us to take a seat because she was ringing the police. We said that was fine and sat down at the counter and waited. The call went on for a few minutes before she ended it and walked back to the till and said we could pay now. The till has a screen where you can see the order items and the total bill. We could see she had taken off the mochiko chicken curry, and we paid the bill. My husband asked. "So the police said that you couldn't force us to pay then?". Waitress no. 2 then began to raise her voice at us, saying the same spiel that she had said before she rang the police. My husband said let's just leave it and go and told her she was being really unprofessional and that it was wild that she had tried to get us arrested over a dish we didn't eat. As we left the restaurant, she shouted that we were pathetic and told us don't come back. I said, "Don't worry, we won't ever come back" (sort of laughing because I was so taken aback and shocked by her behaviour to customers). She then tried to mock me as we walked out of the restaurant. I'm posting this to let other people know that this could happen to them if they don't like a dish they've ordered at Koko. We obviously won't be coming back, and it's a real shame that this was how the restaurant handled this as it was our first time eating there. It could have been sorted really easily, but that's not how it played out, unfortunately, and we ended up having a horrible time when we wanted to go for a nice meal together. I've attached a picture of the end of our meal, showing that my husband didn't touch his food. Thanks
