Fantastic bar for some superb late night cocktails! The menu is extensive and the drinks are really, really, really good. The staff are lovely, chatty and look after you well. The bar is atmospheric with low lit tables and comfy seats. If you are staying in Plymouth ... You need to go.
I went on an upgraded masters tour with five friends and family yesterday and it was just exceptional. It's such a fun experience. Our guide Karly was so knowledgeable and engaging. We had a wonderful tour, learnt about the history of gin, had a gin tasting, made our own gin with an amazing array of botanicals to choose from and had two cocktails in the beautiful upstairs bar, which is also steeped in history. A magical day I would highly recommend. What a treat!
We went on the Upgraded Gin Tour, explaining the history of the building, the distillery and gin in general. Our guid was Karly, who was knowledgeable and enthusiastic throughout. We saw aspects and elements of the process and got to try making our own micro batches of gin, using some of their fantastic supply of botanical. On top of the different samples we tried on the tour there were drinks at the Refectory Bar afterwards. A brilliant day from start to finish!
Another distillery visited. I got my pin badge and a navy strength bottle of gin to go in my bar. Thank you very much. Some great details on the building. Lots of history. Amazingly strong cocktails. Hubby loved the whisky he had in the bar, he wishes he'd of taken the name. If we ever visit Plymough again, we will definitely drop in.
An absolute must-do! Really enjoyed the distilling tour and tasting experience, Kirsty was an excellent guide and kept us entertained and engaged throughout. I will never view or taste gin in the same way, very enjoyable and excellent value for money. Highly recommend!
Hugely entertaining tour. I was the only one on the opening time tour (train to catch!) so the detail and information was in depth and very interesting. To see the pot still actually 'at work' and the master distiller going about his business was fascinating. I particularly enjoyed the ingredients section where you can sense the Plymouth gin aroma coming together. And tasting the wares just topped it off! (I recommend the Fruit Cup!) Many thanks to the tour guide and the lady in the shop who helped to book a taxi. HUGELY enjoyable!!
A must visit for anyone who likes gin! Very informative tour - £15 for three tastings and 10% off in their shop - that is well worth doing.
If you are in Plymouth for any reason, you absolutely must check out the Plymouth Gin Distillery! Great shop full of goodies, easily the best cocktail bar in Plymouth attached to the distillery, the head bartender Coco was incredible & made sure my visit was memorable (as well as making one of the best martinis I’ve ever had). The tours are great as well, regardless of how experienced you are with gin. Beth was sublime as our guide! Incredibly knowledgeable & charismatic. Made the history of gin fun to learn & get everyone involved. Thank you to everyone at the distillery, could not have been more friendly & guest welcoming!
Very interesting tour! If you like gin, this is the perfect mod to spend an one hour of your life! Don't miss this!
