    47 kinds of gin! Martin Miller's was a great choice, ambience is a mixture of old an industrial designs, very nice. Will come again to try the rest on the list. Cheers

    Came for dinner instead of cocktails but will definitely back for them! Great atmosphere and music. Very generous portions. Amazing steak sandwich

    The Jolly Botanist! Enjoy the Scottish friendliness, interior design, loads of different gins or just a beer or twelve! Crowded in the late evenings.

    One of the best burgers in town, with a lot of spices and cooked to perfection. 🍔💖

    Food was quite ordinary and a bit overpriced. I’m sure the bar is great but for a meal, I wasn’t too impressed. Interiors are beautiful though and staff are friendly.
