You could find so many unusual gins that you don’t see in the supermarkets and you don’t want to commit to buying online until you’ve tasted first. The friendly experts behind the bar knew the best pairings and garnishes to recommend. It stood apart from all the other bars, as it was centred around gin (though you could get other drinks). Now with a standard drinks menu it’s just another bar. Yes, due to its size it still retains its intimate feel, but it’s lost the magic. Perhaps the owners are trying to shed its niche reputation, so they can attract a bigger audience, sadly in doing so I’m sure with its bland drinks menu I won’t be the only one that begins to forget its even there.

Rachel served us on both visits, on our first visit she recommended the Ten Legs gin which was the perfect drink for us and has become a favourite. On our second visit, we had the pleasure of talking to the owners Anne-Marie and Derek who were both lovely, spoke to us about our visit and recommended their gin tasting events (which we will be booking). The bar is cosy, with incredibly friendly and knowledgable staff. Can't wait to come back and visit again.

The bar itself is beautiful and has such a cosy atmosphere, and the staff were so lovely and welcoming, and were happy to talk and share stories with us throughout the evening.
