The Cocktail Bar Worcester
What makes a great cocktail bar in Worcester? JP is the proud owner of Keystones Cocktail Club in Worcester and he believes that: “A terrific cocktail isn’t just about the fluid in the glass it’s about the total experience.” To this end, Keystones have created an imaginative haven for people wanting to experience the best and is even giving their London namesake a run for their money.
It’s all about the Team …
Fantastic bars come in all shapes and sizes so what makes a few of them so exceptional. JP believes it’s all about the team. The best bars and clubs aren’t just businesses – they’re passion projects – the much loved creations of their owners and the people that run them. Mixing a cocktail isn’t just a skill, it’s a form of art. When you’ve got Mixologists working behind the bar that believe in that philosophy you’re definitely on the right path. But, it’s not just about the bar team – everyone involved makes a difference. If your hosts love where they work then they welcome your guests with a sense of pride, if your DJ thinks of the club as more important than their own home then they’re going to create an unmatchable vibe. This is so true of Ginge DJ who would live in the club if he could. JP adds, “ This is why so many people see us as the best cocktail bar in Worcester.”
The Décor and Design …
It may sound a little crazy, but people like to know where they are and what to expect. Sure, people climb mountains for adventure, bungee jump for an adrenaline rush and even run marathons just for the challenge. And, that’s all good stuff but when people visit a cocktail club it’s because they want to unwind, let their hair down and just have a good time. They want to look around, feel like they belong and know that they’re welcome. Great cocktail clubs have a décor brand and theme all of their own.
JP believes that there are too many cocktail clubs that look like they all came from the same box. He states, “We wanted something different. We wanted to keep all the sophistication of a classic New York Club but give it an edge that people would remember.” This philosophy resulted in Keystones Cocktail Club Worcester with is wall murals of superheroes and champion staff. When you’re at Keystones you know where you are and what to expect – a really great time.

The Ingredients …
As anyone who has ever watched a Harry Potter film will know, creating the ideal cocktail is like mixing the perfect magic potion – it has to be just right. That means the ingredients have to be the best. With Brits spending more than $500 million a year on cocktails they know what’s good. Great ingredients make the difference. Fresh juice means really fresh and liquor only from countries that make it best such as Aquavit from Denmark and Tequila from Mexico – not the other way around. Keystones know that every ingredient has a story to tell and that it needs to be a good one.
The City Factor …
Let’s face it, every city is different. New York cocktail bars tend to be about warm classic wood, tiffany lamps, big brown leather sofas and stylish drinks like Long Island Iced tea. Cocktail bars in Madrid are more open, often spilling out onto the street with cool granite bar tops, sprays of flowers and drinks rich in tequila. This is great and works for them. Keystones is for Worcester. A vibrant university city with a young and enthusiastic population that know how to have fun. Keystones admit that they are biased but genuinely believe that they offer the best cocktail bar for Worcester. A mix of world class cocktails and music set in an informal but slightly edgy environment that can be as exciting as a student party or as laid back as the river Severn the winds its way around the city. Here you’ll find Marketing execs rubbing shoulders with students and everyone having a great time.
