Culture & Cure, Bath

A new craft beer outlet opened in April 2014 in what was, until it recently the closed Grappa Wine Bar (and which in a previous incarnation was a cider house called the Beehive) on Lansdown Hill. Under new managers Karen Cairns and Colin Phillips the bistro style Culture and Cure aims to celebrate British produce. The selection of cheeses, charcuterie and tapas are all home-grown with wine and craft beer from local vineyards and brewers. Wild Beer Co and Wiper & True feature in the line up of craft beers alongside London based The Kernel whilst a house brew by Bristol beer factory is available. Chef Henry Scott creates imaginative dishes from a small kitchen on the second floor, which overlooks the restaurant and retro cocktail bar, whilst on the third floor is a relaxing cinema room and comfy sofas.
