An urban distillery with the heart of a cocktail bar. Take in the huge space, all soaring ceilings and gleaming distillery equipment. But take a seat at the bar and you’ll feel as though you’re somewhere more intimate, even when the room is teeming with groups in the dining area behind you (and it usually is). The gregarious folks working here are some of the best in the biz – and that’s meant in an international sense. Many of them have had stints in the most iconic bars of London and New York, and the long and diverse drinks menu, with cocktails for every mood, is a showcase of their talents. Have a martini any way you want it, from dirty to appletini; go the tiki route with a seriously good take on the zombie, or opt for something original and balanced like the Sunshine Sour, a beautifully bright combination of tequila, bergamot, maple syrup and grapefruit. To up the ante even further, slip into the distillery next door for a tasting, or to grab takeaway spirits and bottled cocktails.
