A theatrical speakeasy with creative cocktails
Incognito was a standout addition to Kingston's nightlife when it opened in the historic Griffin Centre. Located upstairs from the more casual Chadwick's Home of Zoology, this speakeasy-style bar offered an intimate, sophisticated escape with dim lighting, plush seating, and a menu of inventive cocktails that were as visually stunning as they were delicious. The theatrical presentation of drinks, combined with the moody, upscale atmosphere, made it a favorite for couples and those looking to celebrate something special.
The bar was known for its creative mixology, with signature drinks like the Royal Charlie Foxtrot and Turtle Island cocktail drawing rave reviews. The mezzanine seating added to the sense of exclusivity, while the overall vibe felt like stepping into a secret world. While Tripadvisor reviews from its peak praised the "beautiful decor" and "brilliant service," recent hints on social media suggest the venue may have closed. If it's still operating, it remains a must-visit for cocktail lovers in the Kingston/Surbiton area.
