Gin & Bear It
A cosy weekend gin lounge in the Man Bar complex, with a long gin list and a calmer feel than the club next door.
Gin & Bear It is the quiet room of the Man Bar and Growlr Club complex, with its own door on Springfield Road. The draw is the gin list, which runs to a couple of hundred bottles, and staff will match a tonic and garnish to what you like.
It is a cosier, slower space than the dancefloor next door, which makes it a good place to start the night or to talk. Visitors often describe it as inclusive and as a safe space to be yourself.
Opening
It keeps the same weekend pattern as Man Bar: Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 8pm until late.
Tips
- Ask the staff for a recommendation if the list looks daunting.
