Drinks & Nightlife
Award winning cocktail bar. The cocktails are exceptional and it has won awards as one of the top 10 places to drink in the East of England. Great meze platters too. It's understated by day, and warm and cavernous by night. Owner knows lots about whiskey and there are vintage one-offs available by the glass. Worth it if you treasure your whiskey moments.
