The Distillery

Inspired by this local history, the bar has become an alchemist’s laboratory of sensations mixing signature cocktails using homemade aromatics, infusions and bitters to accent drinks. The Distillery bar also specialises in craft beers and stocks over 100 hand-picked gins, from fine old classics from every point of the compass, to new age gins from artisan distilleries springing up all over Bankside, Southwark and Bermondsey.

The Industrial and vintage elements contrast with sumptuous fabrics and comfortable seating to create the perfect destination for a local casual drink. The detailing around the bar suggests the intimacy and elegance of a 1930’s drinking den, and is accentuated with antique bottles, vases and glassware. Our Penny Wall art installation, featuring pennies dating back to the early twentieth century, is inspired by a rumour that the building was once a coin warehouse for the Bank of England.
