About The Racketeer

Opened in June 2017, The Racketeer has restored this Victorian drinking establishment to its former glory. Serving both modern and classic cocktails, craft and draft beer and an inventive wine list to compliment a snazzy bar snack menu. We offer table service and bookings in a comfortable and relaxed setting with outdoor seating front and back in this family-run, independent cocktail bar and pub.

We have 2 floors, a ground floor bar with seating and standing room for up to 100, a small patio garden and outdoor seating at the front of the space. The basement has a snug bar and is a room that can fit up to 40 and is perfect for Birthday parties in the Winter or as a room to compliment the ground floor for larger events. There is an independent background PA system in both spaces and toilets are located in the basement.

We have a long established, professional and friendly team who can guide you through the extensive drinks menu. We are able to cater to specific food and drink requests to whatever kind of event you are wanting to host with us.
