Nobody can tell you you are cool, you just know it. Five years ago, passing somebody in the street wearing white earbuds would elicit a knowing nod – although strangers to each other, iPod owners considered themselves a clique, a cabal of cool.

At the same time, in an unassuming street in a peculiar part of town, a bar opened that changed the face of the Northern Quarter forever. Informal and relaxed, Socio Rehab became synonymous with THE place to be for great drinks.

The backbar will prolong the journey of discovery that commenced in the backstreets of Blackfriars. The best spirits in each category have been carefully selected ensuring true drink aficionados have somewhere to call home.

Knowledge of Corridor’s existence and location is spreading, usually by word of mouth and pretty soon, like the iPod it will ingratiate itself to the masses but thanks to the simplicity of the door policy (if you can find it, you can come in) and the focus on great drinks and service. Corridor will be cool for many years to come.
