Rituals

Some things we won't explain here.

A handful of what's down here. Ask at the bar. Or wait. You'll find out anyway.

Six names. One spout each. They find you, eventually.

A jar on the bar. We're counting too.

A barrel in the corner. Ten visits gets you a place on it.

Ask what we'd pour for ourselves tonight. It changes weekly. It's never on the list.

Five cocktails that aren't on the menu. Ask for el secreto.

There's a pairing for most things. Ask for el maridaje.

Some things arrive sealed. The smoke is yours.

One drink is a declaration. Everything else is a construction.

Try something.
On The List

Short, on purpose.

Get directions →

Located on Dormer Place, a short walk from the Royal Pump Rooms. Look for the gap in the iron railings. Go down.

Entry is via stairs — there's no step-free access to La Cueva. Please get in touch before visiting if this affects you.

Private Hire

Wednesdays, the whole room is yours.

Client dinners, the end of a long project, the parties you don't want overheard. Leamington's tech and games studios are a short walk away — close enough to make it easy, far enough to feel like you've gone somewhere.

Visit

Enquire

This starts a conversation, not a booking.

Good. We'll be in touch.
