We had an absolutely fantastic time distilling our own gin. The team were so knowledgable and guided us through the process - with lots of G+Ts along the way! Cocktail making was great fun, with an added twist ;) I really enjoyed selecting my own botanicals to make a completely bespoke gin. Would 100% recommend this - it's worth every penny for a gin-lover.

Stumbled on this shop purely by chance but what a fantastic idea. Now we know it’s here we will come prepared next time we are in Leicester. I hope it does well because it deserves to.

I love to travel and this bar was full of travel books and decorations etc. Beautiful. Good music and great cocktails. Staff were really friendly and very knowledgeable on their cocktail ingredients, also accommodated for vegans mixing drinks with milk and egg alternatives. The staff were so good we had a table booked for three and they let us purchase from the 4-7pm happy hour menu early, which was much appreciated!! They had the cutest sanitiser on the table which they've designed themselves. Toilets were clean. Really happy and would definitely come back here.

Micropub set in a 1950s chemist theme. Purveyors of Real Ale, Craft Beers & Ciders, Artisan Gins & Spirits, Traditional Pub Food, Tea & Coffee

I've visited the Beer Pharmacie on several occasions and am very impressed with the place, a great selection of Ales, Lagers and Ciders backed up by a wide range of Gins. With a quirky 50's Pharmacy theme. The Owners are very welcoming and the Bar Staff very knowledgeable about their products. Because the place is so busy there is a good turnover of beers and the selection is different every time you visit. They have recently opened an upstairs Vinyl Lounge with Games and Darts which gives a nice location just to sit and chat with a 50's Movie/Music Theme. The Downstairs Bar area gets pretty busy at peak times but with quite a bit of seating it is usually possible to get a seat, The bar does allow children in as long as they are under control up until 19:00. Occasional Live entertainment is also a feature of the place. There is a small selection of Bar Snacks available and a small range of canned and bottled beers to take away if you want to keep the party going...

My local for 30 years and it’s great to see such a dramatic change. I loved the old clarey, and the owners they were like family. But this refurb and take over as been a breath of fresh air. They’ve kept the original locals to. And added plenty new ones. The beer price as actually come down and they have added food all day. The menu changing weekly and it really is at a high quality. Can’t fault this place well done all xx ????
