Ex Working Man's Club turned into a gin bar...but it works. Intimate snugs, along with high stools at tables, and relaxing chairs. Outside area to enjoy the afternoon/evening sun, and small function area downstairs and larger function area upstairs. View all feedback.
What Ian Thompson doesn't like about The Distillery:
This was my first time visiting this restaurant after a cricket game, and I found it to be pretty decent. The gin bar is a highlight for those who enjoy that. The beer selection is standard and similar to what you would find at other places. The atmosphere is good and the staff are efficient and knowledgeable. View all feedback.

Great pub , spacious, friendly, and great selection
I visited this restaurant for Sunday lunch last week and was disappointed. When it first opened, the Sunday lunch was amazing with tender meat, but on this visit, the meat was tough and the food was only lukewarm. The fresh vegetables and cauliflower cheese were bland. The price for a dinner is reasonable at £8.95, but the quality is not as good as it once was.
My partner and I came across a great deal for Thursday night at this restaurant - 2 steaks and a glass of wine for 15.95. We figured it would be decent, but nothing special. However, we were pleasantly surprised. The steak, an 8oz rump, was absolutely amazing - cooked perfectly with no fat to be found. The onion rings, chips, and salad were all delicious as well. We both enjoyed the red wine with our meal, which paired perfectly with the steak. This restaurant is truly a hidden gem in Chester le street. We can't wait to go back next Thursday and try out the other dishes, including the Sunday lunch. Overall, we were very impressed and couldn't find any faults - a rare occurrence! Great job, Distillery!
We stopped by for a girls' day out. The decor is impressive, but that's where the positives end. The cocktails were mediocre at best, with too much ice and no garnish. We saw a selection of flavored shots on the table and considered trying them, but out of 10 options, only cucumber, coffee, or mango were available, so we passed. Overall, we don't think we'll be returning.
