Frequently asked questions about The Oracle and our performers.
The Bar
The Oracle is a speakeasy cocktail bar like any other — but it’s run entirely by a team of magicians who will visit your table and show you utterly impossible effects right before your eyes. You can generally expect to be visited by two magicians during an hour visit.
We do occasionally host ticketed parlour show events around our standard service. Follow our socials to keep up to date.
Hours may vary on bank holidays and special event nights — follow us on social media for
updates.
We don’t take reservations — we’re strictly walk-in only. Just come as you are.
None at all — wear what makes you comfortable.
The Oracle is strictly 18+ adults only. Valid photo ID may be requested on entry.
We serve cocktails, non-alcoholic cocktails, beer, wine and soft drinks. View our full menu on the
Menu page.

meals, so we’d recommend eating before you arrive.
