The Counting House

Walk into The Counting House and you'll clock the original Victorian architecture straight away — soaring ceilings, ornate tilework, all that banking-hall grandeur that makes Westgate feel a bit special. It's the kind of space that swallows noise without feeling empty, where you can actually hear your mates across the table. They've done the conversion thoughtfully, keeping the bones of what made it interesting rather than stripping it bare. The drinks list leans properly curated without being show-offy, and the bartenders know what they're doing.
