The UK guide to celebrating the end of Dry January
You’ve gotten through Dry January (well done) and now you want to let your hair down and catchup with friends over some drinks. If you’re looking for somewhere different to hang out, you’re in luck because we’ve compiled a guide on the best places around the UK to go for a drink. From cocktails and craft beers to gorgeous wines and everything in between.
Located on Whitchurch Road in Cardiff, The Brass Beetle is a stylish and welcoming bar/restaurant. There’s a wonderful wood-fired pizza oven, which will line your stomach nicely with some delicious slices, while all the cocktails are hand-crafted and designed by talented staff, using quality ingredients and fresh fruit. There are often various specials on that run from week to week, alongside a ‘classics’ section if all you want is a good old Espresso Martini.
Grape & Grain is a luxurious wine bar located in Aberdeen’s west end. Serving an award-winning collection of wines, you’ll also find the best beer, spirits, and food Scotland has to offer. Warm and welcoming, stylish and subtle, relaxing and refined, Grape & Grain is a place to unwind, meet up with friends or catch up with clients to discuss business in an informal atmosphere away from the office.
Ardshiel Hotel offers a relaxed dining experience and is located close to Campbeltown Loch, only a short walk from the ferry terminal, town centre and all three of the local whisky distilleries. The drinks menus have been carefully selected to pair with the food, with a large range of whiskies available if that’s your tipple. The hotel sources local ingredients and offers timeless classics alongside modern dishes with something to suit everyone.
The Providence Gin Bar in Chester is a Victorian specialist gin bar, shop and tasting room where guests are invited to a range of gin and spirit tasting experiences. The space is perfect for private events and corporate entertaining if that’s something you’re planning. As well as a range of amazing gins and spirits, the venue also serves some great wines, cocktails and some really good craft beers, including its very own Providence Pils – an English malt brewed in a Bavarian style.
The Brewery Tap is nestled in the heart of the village of Furneux Pelham, deep in the Hertfordshire countryside. Surrounded by beautiful scenery and wonderful English country walks, the pub is the perfect spot to enjoy a delicious, freshly cooked meal or a well earned drink. This is a family-friendly village pub, serving locally sourced, fresh food. We use local produce and suppliers wherever possible and offer a wide selection of delicious food from a quick bar snack, classic pub dish or something more gastro. As well as serving an impressive range of wines and spirits, the pub also boasts a superb selection of ales and lagers too – ideal for the beer drinkers.
