Is it your kind of place?

Go here if

  • You want gin to be the point of the stop.
  • A choice of hundreds of gins, cocktails, craft beer, wine and fizz sounds useful rather than alarming.
  • You like guided tastings, gin experiences, bottomless brunch or afternoon G&T style plans.

Avoid if

  • You want a cheap anonymous pint.
  • You need a full dinner.
  • You dislike gin and do not want the drinks list to make a point of it.

Book for tastings, bottomless brunch, afternoon G&T, groups and weekends. Check direct for food, dogs, live music and access.

In a paragraph

Providence Gin is a Watergate Street gin bar in God's Providence House for gin boards, cocktails, craft beer, wine, tastings, live music and grazing-style food.

What it's like

Providence Gin has the location and the building on its side: Watergate Street, God's Providence House, old Chester fabric and a drinks list built around gin rather than generic cocktail-bar sameness.

Gin, terrace, quieter drinks

The venue talks in big gin numbers, but the useful version is simpler: go when you want a steer through the list, a board, a cocktail, or a booked tasting where the drink is the event. If everyone is hungry, feed them first.

Worth knowing

Providence Gin is a strong choice if gin, cocktails and hosted drinks are the plan. It is a weaker choice if the group wants a full meal or a cheap pint with no decisions attached.
