The new refurbishment brings the pub firmly up to date with a smart urban style, adding a stunning new centrepiece bar, comfortable dining and drinking areas and roaring, open fireplaces.

A romantic combination of traditional and industrial styling – from feature carpets to antique effect mirrors, wood panelled walls, dark leather seats, bright fabrics with bold prints – is really what defines Rain Bar’s quirky interior. This clash of two boldly characteristic styles creates a visually stunning and cosy scheme.

The event space on the first floor has its very own bar and when its not occupied by regulars, it can be used for conferences and banquets alike. Levelling the floor was the focus of the refurbishment here, after which it was extensively decorated with an illuminated back bar, dressing items, stackable furniture, faux planting and feature lighting.

In the basement, the toilets have been reconfigured to give more space and additional facilities to customers. They now boast new feature floor and wall tiles throughout as well as polished timber cubicles and new basins.

Having one of the biggest beer gardens in the city centre makes it the perfect place to enjoy a cosy winter pint or a spritzer on a sunny summers day. The final stage of the project transformed the boozer’s ever-popular beer garden into a foliage-filled hideaway using plenty of heaters, potted plants, and covered seating shrouded in ivy.

The basement level toilets have also been reconfigured to give more space and additional facilities to customers. They now boast a new feature floor and wall tiles throughout as well as polished timber cubicles and new basins.
