Prohibition-style speakeasy

Word to the wise: It's not easy to find this place, hidden down a dark alley and marked only by a silver plaque by the door.

Tipple of choice: It's no surprise that gin-based drinks are the specialty here. Go on, order a martini.

Modeled on a classic 1920s speakeasy, Bathtub Gin & Co is a hidden treasure dedicated to a more British-style tipple: gin. The classic bar is set over two levels, but it's actually quite small and the owners cap entry when the bar is just comfortably full, which lends to a chilled out house party-style atmosphere.

Embrace the gin drinks and try a straight-up dirty martini or one of the fancier cocktails, such as the rum-filled bolero - don't worry, they aren't mixed in he bathtub (anymore). Upstairs, brooding types can find a range of history books displayed next to the bar.
