Illusions is a great choice if you are looking for something other than a standard bar with drinks and music. The magicians I have seen have been great, the live piano singer is always fab too, a great laugh with a big group of friends

You know what most cities need? A magic bar. Everyone loves magic, and if you dont then youre probably too miserable to hang around with anyway. The Illusions Magic Bar on the south side of the Triangle in Clifton is a brilliant idea there is no entry price, unlike most entertainment based or themed bars (like comedy clubs), you just have to buy a drink. The downside of the venue is that its maybe a little small, but with plenty of tables and a seperated magic section and socialising section ,the only real drawback is that it can get a little hot, especially when some of the performances use pyrotechnics. However, the deliniated areas means that you can go and be wowed by the truly impressive and varied illusion displays (which run from 7.30pm right the way through until 1.00am) when you feel like it, while otherwise being left alone to socialise without being bothered by a man removing a lemon from your ear. There is also live music most nights with local artists on the Baby Grand Piano, yet perhaps the most impressive part of the entire experience is the stunning cocktails. They come as either singles, massive fishbowls with numerous straws, or the even larger magic wands which are probably large enough to keep a big group of you going for most of the night for the bargain price of £20 between you. Illusions is an excellent idea, excellently executed. Its a great, fun place to hang out for the evening if youre not that into loud clubbing, or is otherwide a brilliant way to start the night.
