This hotel bar is a great spot for gin lovers. The selection is extensive, with a wide variety of gins to choose from, making it the perfect place to try something new. I was served an outstanding gin paired with a premium tonic, and the combination was excellent. The staff clearly knew their products and were happy to recommend something that matched my taste. Whether you're staying at the hotel or just looking for a relaxed place to enjoy a quality gin and tonic, this bar is definitely worth a visit.

We organised a Christmas drinks here for one of our clients and it was a 5 star service from start to finish: the team were incredibly friendly and helpful on the events team, then the in-person team were flawless as well on the night. We had a little space reserved with pre-ordered drink and food that arrived at perfect timing, and the waiting staff couldn’t have been better. Also plenty of options for vegans and veggies. The location is stylish with a good vibe and great drinks/food options. Top stuff!

Amazing chilled out gin bar, with relaxed interior and very attentive staff, especially Joy made us really feel comfortable.

This is a very busy venue, possibly too noisy for autistic people like me so l would suggest eating early if you want to hear the conversation at your table. It attracts large groups of people from neighbouring tech, marketing and financial sector buildings as well as the nearby hotels hosting conferences. It has high industrial style ceilings( no sound baffles !), long shabby chic tables, scuffed wooden tables and the usual arrangement of soft furnishings scattered across the seating areas. There is one disabled toilet downstairs otherwise it's a three tier stair climb to the other facilities. It's dimly kit so watch your step if you're in heels 👠 and a tight skirt. Service was attentive if a little slow between starters and main course. There was a mistake made with our wine which was very quickly rectified before anyone drank it. The portions are generous. My wild farmed flour sourdough bread for instance was shared between three of us. My chicken breast was succulent, the vegetables al dente and bone of it was too salty. I was delighted to be able to create my own bespoke dessert by asking for 2 scoops of salted caramel ice cream with the pistachio chantilly cream that belonged to a chocolate cake l had no room for. This was a nice touch that was much appreciated. I imagine the outdoor tables are a popular choice in the summer months.
