Bar in a Railway Arch

Whole venue

About this space

Hiver Taproom is a taproom and bar set in a railway arch that specialises in honey‑infused beers.

Design: The interior pairs painted corrugated walls, timber tables and metal seating under low pendant lights for a straightforward, functional look. The space includes a raised mezzanine and an open-fronted seating area that admits natural light and creates an indoor–outdoor flow.

Features: The bar serves the brewery’s beers alongside wine, cocktails and soft drinks and allows deliveries or outside food from nearby market traders. The layout comprises a ground floor, a raised mezzanine and a private karaoke room, with a clear area that can be used as a small dancefloor. Installed AV includes a PA system and speakers; hosts can use an in-house DJ, bring their own DJ, or hire a visual system and mic. The venue provides Wi‑Fi, is dog‑friendly, and has step‑free guest access plus accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Small to medium groups seeking relaxed, social standing receptions or casual seated gatherings in an informal, music‑friendly setting.

What sets it apart: Regular honey‑beer tastings and occasional hands‑on honey‑harvesting experiences provide a direct connection between the brewery’s beekeeping and the drinks on offer.

What guests say: The space is characterful and welcoming with flexible upstairs and downstairs areas. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the venue’s AV and private‑room options work well for music nights, karaoke or pub‑quiz style events.
