who we are
Tucked away behind The Rum and Crab Shack, down granite steps on Fore Street, St Ives is our small, friendly, lowly lit cave – The R Bar. Our speciality rum cocktails are made-to-order by our experienced mixologists from a back bar stocking over a hundred rums.
Both Dead Man’s Finger’s Rum and our latest creation, Stargazy Cosmic Caramel Rum, were created here, that’s why we consider The R Bar the Southwest’s spiritual home of rum. We also offer food, cocktail making experiences, live music, DJs and private hire complete with bartender.
Come and find us and in the meantime follow us on instagram …
