About Experimental Cocktail Club
Experimental Cocktail Club in Cheltenham is a $$$ venue with daily opening hours from 12 PM to 12 AM. With only limited public details available, the safest way to plan is around the confirmed basics: the price tier, the all-week schedule, a smart casual dress code.
That makes it a flexible option in Cheltenham for guests who want a planned stop rather than a venue with a fully documented dining or service format.
Use the confirmed details to decide whether it fits your plans
The clearest points are direct: Experimental Cocktail Club is priced at $$$, opens daily from midday to midnight, lists smart casual dress. Those facts suggest planning with a little intention, especially if price, timing, or dress expectations matter to your group.
The room is best planned around smart casual expectations
Dress smart casual and use the daily 12 PM to 12 AM hours to choose the time that suits your visit. Beyond that, avoid relying on assumptions about atmosphere, group suitability, seating style, or special events unless you have confirmed them with the venue.
If dinner is part of the plan, use our full Cheltenham restaurants guide to build the meal around it. For stays nearby, our full Cheltenham hotels guide is the more useful planning layer.

Bar context
How it compares in and around Cheltenham
Choose Experimental Cocktail Club when the night is built around cocktails and conversation rather than a pub meal. The Grape Escape is the more practical Cheltenham alternative if location and an easy town-centre plan matter more than a destination feel.
For a countryside pub mood, The Woolpack Inn, The Bell at Selsley, The Halfway at Kineton are better fits for longer, meal-led plans. They make more sense for groups that want food, pints, a slower rural outing.
The Butchers Arms is the cross-shop if the brief is a polished pub occasion rather than a cocktail bar. Experimental Cocktail Club is the sharper choice for a date-night drink; the pub peers are safer for mixed-age groups or anyone prioritising a meal over the bar program.
