Old Toms Gin Bar — Restaurant in Great Britain

Couldn't have been more helpful. I have been a gin imbiber for many years and I have never seen so many gins in one place before. Add to the number of different gins a great assortment of tonics and other mixers plus a good range of fresh and dried fruits and herbs and you definitely have a winner. Hi Jo As we all know, you need a little something to line your stomach when you are drinking or you may have to stop too soon so if you look in their fridge you find some very nice cheese and cold meats, these are served on slate along with fresh salad, in our case this included fresh figs, very tasty. Though they had to fence off the Gorgonzola to stop it escaping. With seating outside for the good weather and views to the river just to the front it's very picturesque and I won't spoil the surprise by telling you about the internal decor, go and see for yourself. The only downside is it's tiny so in poor weather get...

A wonderfully weird and whacky bar, decorated with obscurity, white elephants, artwork and taxidermy.

It has a non-traditional bar, and instead it sports a bar kitchen suited to table service. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

They stock a wide array of gins and other spirits. Cocktails and Beers also available.

However the menu was a disappointment as I don't think it truly reflects the brand and does not showcase the stock available as I wanted, instead you have to awkwardly stand by the bar kitchen looking at what else they house... Both bad for explorers and business. Don't let that put you off though, after a few drinks you soon forget and get swallowed up in the furniture.

Outdoor smoking area with heaters plus, I think Cathedral and Castle views.

££ don't be put off by the prices its not weatherspoons.

Great for dates and those looking to drink "alternative".

Go...

Quirky. Small. Bit disappointing.

The gin stocks don't match expectations. Garnishes are basic "ice and a slice". Glassware is underwhelming in that it's just tired standard stuff. The prices are super premium. They do have decent tonic, use loads of ice and provide your tonic separately to add to taste which I like.

The place itself is stuffed with what can only be described random tat from floor to ceiling to create a sense of whimsy, but it feels a little hollow, like a businessman in a comedy tie. A touch musty. No bar to speak of, just a space where you can stand and order drinks.

Accessible only via a narrow quite steep set of stairs.

One loo. No toilet paper in the dispensers. When I mentioned this to the bar staff, I was informed "oh, we never have toilet paper in the dispensers, it's just loose on the side". That sums up the whole place, less endearingly eccentric,...
