The Gin Palace

A hidden gem within The Strand Hotel, The Gin Palace promises a regal experience for gin enthusiasts and cocktail aficionados alike. It boasts an impressive array of over 50 gins sourced from around the world, alongside a well-curated selection of other spirits and signature cocktails such as the "Escaped Baboon."

Nevertheless, when staff hit their stride, the establishment offers an engaging environment to unwind. Present in a central and accessible location, this hotel bar nonetheless challenges patrons to find convenient parking.
