40 St Paul’s

Ladies, gin is in and we have found the best gin bar in the country. That’s not an opinion, 40 St Paul’s were awarded the ‘Best Gin Bar’ and the ‘Best Gin Menu’ in the UK for 2018. Now, that’s got your attention hasn’t it?! With over 140 varieties on offer it’s fair to say that they’ll be able to satisfy your every gin-related need. With only 24 seats, booking is highly recommended as space is by no means guaranteed. However, when you do get a spot, the cosy, intimate atmosphere just adds to the fantastic ambiance. It is truly gin-credible!
