Love this tiny little bar right on the river Wear! Definitely a fun & quirky place to stop & learn a little more about gin & how different mixers & garnishes can enhance different gins. Matthew was so friendly & chatty as well as being very knowledgeable, he really made us feel at ease. The soundtrack is pretty awesome too. Don't miss a chance to visit when in Durham!

This is a must for gin lovers and it is the smallest pub in Durham. It is a busy location with a lovely atmosphere and on a sunny day it is the perfect place to visit. This is certainly a place to put on your visiting list.

This is the smallest bar in Durham, but there are 100s of different gins to choose from. Although it's small in there, it feels like there is plenty of room and the staff do a great job of making you feel welcome. The atmosphere is fantastic and I definitely recommend this place if you're in the area.

Never seen so many Gins in such a small space, staff were very helpful with regards to choosing a drink, ive no idea what I ended up with but it was dry and very good. Everyone else was happy with theirs too.

Great little bar. Give this locally owned and run gin bar a try, this place is a recommended visit if you are in Durham near Elvet bridge.
Good craic, great staff.
Fantastic choice of gins, tonics and botanicals. Choose from their menu or craft your own with their expert advice.

Such a small place but amazing. We had a male bartender that knew his stuff! For this girl I don't normally like gin and he asked if I would trust him and if I didn't like he would drink it. Needless to say I really like my drink. It is trendy and therfore spend but really worth it if you love gin with every kind of mixers known to man.
