Join us at The Racketeer as we venture off the well-trodden path and take a walk round some of Spain’s undiscovered wine regions. There is so much more to life than Rioja!
An evening of wine tasting from Daniel Whiskin of Boutinot Wines. You'll receive a glass of fizz on arrival and we will provide a few nibbles, perhaps some fantastic cheeses to keep you going all included within the ticket price.
... Tickets to our masterclass sessions are limited and do sell out so we kindly suggest snapping them up quickly.
We look forward to see you there.

The Racketeer teams up with Plymouth Gin to offer you a much sought after space in The Botanical Lab. A unique and immersive experience with Plymouth Gin where you will both learn and taste this classic spirit and the botanicals used to make it. You will ultimately create your own personal Gin to carry home by the end of the evening. The Racketeer will provide a cocktail on arrival and some nibbles to help you along, all of which is included in your ticket price. Be quick as tickets are limited to keep the room intimate...this event will sell out.

We had my birthday party here - they have a fantastic private area at the back which was perfect. Everyone had a lovely time and were super complimentary. Great drinks at reasonable prices. I would definitely return. Thanks!

User

The place is excellent! Lovely cocktails and delicious snacks! Definitely recommend it to anyone looking to have some good time.

User

Such a great bar, good decor, really friendly staff, fab drinks, amazing basement .... took me a while to find the loos and a secluded sunny garden. Look forward to a return visit.

User

Spent a very pleasant few hours here last night, beer was great, atmosphere nice and chilled, the whole pub was enjoying themselves

User

Sometimes you find an unexpected gem of a pub, excellent beer served in ice cold glasses, perfect for summer. They serve food in the form of cured meats and cheese and other nibbles, ideal for snacking with a good pint. I which I had a local like this at home.�������

User

Relaxed, bright, & super-friendly - lovely place. Great music! On top of the couple of pints I had, and strongly recommend, the pineapple daiquiri. The hot chilli jam is wicked :)

User

Mid-1800s building that encompasses the vibe, ambiance and aroma of times (almost) forgotten. Approachable cocktail list, great music & lighting and perfectly knowledgeable bar staff. If I lived in this 'hood, it would be my local. Full stop.

User

Lovely new bar, great location, amazing wine list and cocktail selection - all very reasonable! Look forward to going back ... good vibes.

User

Lovely bar, friendly staff, strong cocktails. What more could you want?

User

Just visiting the area and stumbled across this cool little pub. Craft beers served in iced glasses and delicious nibbles in a really cool interior make for a great way to spend a few hours. Staff couldn't have been nicer and we didn't pay until we had finished our evening which makes a refreshing change! If your in Hatton Gardens take a walk there and enjoy.

User

A great new pub located near Kings Cross with a fine selection of beers on tap and an excellent range of spirits. I was particularly pleased to spot a couple of beers from Purity Brewing which is one my favourites and not very common in and around London. Look forward to my next visit.
