About Twelve Twenty Five
Twelve Twenty Five occupies a prime spot on the Union Quay waterfront, a cocktail bar and restaurant looking straight out over the Fish Quay and the river. It has made its name on well-made cocktails and comfort food, with outdoor seating that fills up on a fine day.
Its bottomless brunch is a particular draw, pairing a platter with ninety minutes of bottomless prosecco, beer and house spirits, with cocktail-pitcher upgrades available. Lively and central to the Quay's social scene, it is a natural choice for a celebratory weekend.
