What User likes about The Distillery:
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.

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 g...

Slightly pricey, but definitely worth it. The Rhubarb Ginger gin with tonic and ice was incredibly refreshing and the dried sliced lemon added a nice touch to t...
