WC - Gincloset

You'll climb the stairs wondering if you're heading to someone's private flat, but push through the unassuming door and you'll find Newcastle's most serious gin operation. The space feels like a well-appointed living room where someone happens to make exceptional cocktails – all dark wood, soft lighting, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to settle in for the evening. The bartenders here actually know their botanicals, and they're happy to talk you through their impressive selection without any of the pretension you might expect. Whether you're after a perfect G&T or something more adventurous, they'll sort you out with something that'll make you rethink what gin can do.
