About this space

The Washhouse is a brick-walled cocktail bar that focuses on crafted, experiential drinks.

Design: The interior pairs exposed brick and industrial fixtures with low, warm lighting and compact seating. The layout includes eclectic decorative touches and small, intimate corners punctuated by novelty fittings.

Features: An on-site bar presents an inventive cocktail menu whose drinks arrive with theatrical presentation, props and narrative backstories. A staff team provides table service and a flexible exchange policy for unsatisfactory drinks. Accessibility features include step-free guest entrance, wheelchair access, accessible toilets, Wi‑Fi and air conditioning.

Ideal for: Small groups seeking a lively, social evening centred on craft cocktails and conversation.

What sets it apart: A laundrette-style secret entrance provides a speakeasy arrival sequence that frames the visit as a discovery.

What guests say: The cocktail presentations are consistently creative and the service is friendly and attentive. The space is comfortable and punctuated by quirky, memorable decorative elements.
