6 O'clock Gin at The Glassboat

You're walking along Welsh Back and spot this proper floating bar moored on the water – it's impossible to miss. The Glassboat is a converted barge that's been doing its thing for years, and 6 O'clock Gin has taken over the space with obvious enthusiasm. Step inside and you've got exposed wood, nautical charm without being cheesy about it, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the harbour. It's the kind of place where the bartenders actually know their gins – we're talking proper provenance chat, not just pouring measures. The whole vibe feels intimate but buzzy, especially on weekends when the waterfront gets properly lively.
