Walk-Ins

Can we walk-in if we just want a drink or two? Yes, but it is on a first come, first serve, and while we try and keep room for walk ins we cannot guarantee entry. For groups of over 4 people we require advance booking with a deposit.

Welcome to Europe’s largest gin bar. Every single gin we have is listed for you and lovingly kept up to date (mostly.) We have over 500 gins in the collection, from over 34 countries and counting.
