The Connaught Gin Bar

You're walking up West Hill Road towards the cliffs, past the grand Victorian terraces, and you slip into somewhere that feels properly grown-up. The Connaught isn't trying to be loud or flashy—it's the kind of place where gin isn't just a spirit, it's a conversation. The bar itself has that refined, clubby feel you'd expect from somewhere with this kind of pedigree, all polished wood and careful lighting. Whether you're a gin obsessive or someone who just wants a properly made drink without the fuss, you'll find what you're after here.
