Mainly a cocktail bar.

The block in which this stands was designed by Thomas Pocock. It was recorded as a beerhouse in 1870 and became fully licensed at around the time of WW2.

The venue has promoted itself as providing artisan beers, creative cocktails, handmade liquor, and house infused spirits.

The Ginstitute experience on the top two floors, must be booked.
