The former Lo-Fi site in Taylor Square is being given a fresh guise as the stripped-back gin and jive spot, Middlebar.

With a focus on music and gin-based cocktails, the space has been reimagined to provide a small bar feel, while still leaving enough room to bust a move. To pull it off, the venue has enlisted Lee Potter Cavanagh of The Rum Diaries and The Victoria Room, along with The Baxter Inn bar manager David ‘Rizza’ Rozarior, who will take the reigns in the bar and tunes departments respectively.

With its warm timber interior and delicious unpretensious drinks, Middlebar comes right in time for that sweet transition from winter to gin.

Middlebar is open to the public from Friday July 24. For more information go to the website.
