The Refuge

Our Take

Victorian gothic palace transformed into a sprawling public house with a stunning outdoor courtyard garden. This Kimpton hotel venue does daytime drinking with serious style—the Winter Garden's soaring ceilings and botanical vibes make afternoon pints feel like an occasion. Multiple bars across different rooms mean you can migrate with your mood. The outdoor courtyard comes alive in warmer months with cocktails, craft beers, and people-watching. Perfect for groups who want somewhere impressive without the pretension, or solo sessions with a book and a Negroni. Brunch runs into lunch runs into drinks without anyone batting an eyelid.
