Dark Arts Bar "Unlock the magic at The Dark Arts - where cocktails and mystery meet."

Dearest Reader,

It would seem the last gathering left quite an impression…

Our previous workshop, devoted to the art of spell writing, vanished into sold-out whispers before the candles had time to burn low.

And so, we begin again.
This time, under the guidance of the ever-enchanting , we turn our attention to something more… tangible.

✨ The Spell Bag Workshop ✨
An evening of intention, craft, and quiet magic, where you will create your own spell bag — a small but potent charm, filled with crystals, herbs, colour, and purpose.
You will learn the foundations of magical correspondence, understanding how each element carries meaning… and how, when woven together, they become something altogether more powerful.

Something personal.

Something yours.

Held within the candlelit walls of Dark Arts, Southampton — where such things are not only welcomed, but expected.

Seats, as before, are limited… and one suspects they will not linger long.
So tell me… will you be joining this next circle?

Dearest Reader,

Spring, it seems, has arrived… though not without a touch of mischief.

At Dark Arts in Southampton, the season reveals itself not in flowers, but in potions most curious.
Allow us to present our Spring Specials - fleeting, delicate, and not to be trusted entirely.

🌸 The Briarveil
A most elegant deception. Gin entwined with lemon and lavender, sweetened with honey and darkened by blackberry and cassis. Finished with a whisper of violet and a veil of smoke… as all proper secrets should be.

🫧 Pipe Dream
Light as spring air, yet not without intrigue. Seedlip, elderflower, blueberry and apple dance with citrus notes, crowned with a most enchanting bubble. Harmless, one might think.

🌷The Fae Fog
A warm indulgence for cooler evenings. Earl Grey crème, lavender, vanilla… soft, soothing, and just a little otherworldly.

These delights will not linger forever.

So tell me… will you join us in Southampton and taste the season while it lasts?

Yours in quiet temptation,
— Agatha the Black

🐉 Guarded by flame. Hidden in gold.

The Dragon’s Hoard is one of our most coveted potions — a treasure of bright citrus, deep crimson secrets, and a little theatrical smoke for good measure.

But like any true hoard… it never stays the same for long.

A new serve is coming soon, and trust us — the dragon approves.

Gather your coven and claim it while you can.

🔮 Tell me, traveller…

Are you the witch who drinks fire…🔥
or the one who prefers poison? 💀

Here at Dark Arts, every potion has its purpose — some
burn bright, some whisper softly… and some have a habit of doing both.

Choose wisely.

Gather your coven and come discover which one calls to you tonight.

🕯️Only in Southampton will a night out demand your wits.

Here, drinks are brewed… not poured. 🍸

Quests appear where you least expect them. 🔎

Potions simmer. 🧪
�Secrets reveal themselves to those who pay attention.

Bring your friends.🖤

Bring your courage.💪

The clever ones tend to do rather well here.
The rest… provide excellent entertainment.

🖤 Southampton… meet the man who runs the shadows.

Malakai Ravensbeard once walked the shadowed realms in search of forbidden mastery.�Within the Court of Ravensdawn, he honed his craft among crypt-born rites and whispering bones.
But ambition is a restless thing.
It carried him to the Hourglass Coven — where time bends and death is distilled.

🍸He commands the bar.�🗝️The escape rooms.�🧪The potion classes.�🧩The puzzle boxes.�🗡️The murder mysteries.�🔎And now… Quest Night itself.

They say he brews with spirits.
They rarely specify which kind.
If your drink whispers back…�That was Malakai.

Raise a glass to our Staff Member of the Month.

⚔️Southampton’s bravest gathered…

Maps were studied.
Clues were whispered.
At least one theory was wildly incorrect.

Under lantern glow and suspiciously green elixirs, alliances were formed, riddles were challenged, and reputations were very nearly ruined.

The quest board opens 16th March at Dark Arts.

So tell me traveller…
Will you conquer the board or be conquered by it?

🌞The Sun slips quietly into Pisces.♓️
The sign of dreamers. Of tides. Of those who feel the shift in the air long before the storm arrives.

To mark the season, we offer The Sea Witch — a most beguiling elixir.🍸
Served in a floating martini triangle, suspended above sea shells and veiled in a hush of dry ice mist, she arrives like something summoned rather than poured.

Within her depths:
Cherry syrup.
Apple juice.
Guava.
Lime.
Lemonade.

A whisper of coconut.
Sweet, but not innocent.
Soft, yet edged with citrus clarity.

No spirits linger here — only ocean-bound magic and the quiet pull of the tide.🐟
The Sea Witch is waiting.

❤️🗝️ A Most Unusual Valentine’s Proposal 🗝️❤️

Ah yes… roses wilt, chocolates vanish, and candlelit dinners are forgotten by morning.
But solving a puzzle together?�Now that binds two souls in glorious confusion.

This Valentine’s, bring your beloved (or your bravest companion) to the tavern and place before them a Puzzle Box most devious.

Will you argue?�Will you collaborate?�Will one of you insist, “I know what I’m doing,” moments before catastrophe?

There is no greater test of romance than a locked box and a ticking heart.
So come, take a seat by candlelight.�Roll up your sleeves.�And discover whether your love is patient… perceptive… or perilously chaotic.
The box awaits.
— Flynn ❤️🥀
