The aim is for you to chill, our method is booze, and the playground is Boilermaker.
INTRODUCTION Welcome to Boilermaker. We’ve survived the high school years. We still haven’t been able to shake off the nicknames we’ve acquired, BoilerRoom, BoilerHouse, BoilerTavern. We’ve heard it all. In 3 years, we’ve realised we’ve made some mistakes. Some good, some bad. We’ve been mature enough to recognise the latter and build upon that and the former. We’ve studied hard to finish big school and are onto our next chapter. Still rebellious to heart we’re willing to throw caution into the wind and do what we wanna do. Drinking is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated. True to our roots we try to offer a comfortable & fun experience and damn tasty drinks for a reasonable price.

Dress Code – Any clothes are preferred & a prerequisite to entry & service. Waste your time efficiently – Have a good look through our menu and see what tipple tickles your fancy. Unsure? Then feel free to ask your server. If it’s not on the menu, please ask. we’ll do our utmost to make it. If not we’ll be sure to know how to next time! We do offer non-alcoholic options based on your preferences. We also try to be as accommodating as possible to dietary requirements. Simply ask. Please sit down – We employ people to stand and relay drinks all night so you don’t have to. Be it a bar seat or a table we operate on a tab based system. Sit back, relax and allow us to do all the leg work. No fighting, play fighting, or talking about fighting. This isn’t Fight Club. We don’t charge service charge but if you feel a member(s) of staff provided a service worthy of recognition then happily let them know.

Nuka-Libre Quantum £8
Features & Design Plantation three stars rum, Cocchi Americano, carbonated clear cola, blue-tonium-90. Served good to the last drop. Technical Information “Let me ask ‘ya something, are you hungry for some two-hundred-yearold Salisbury steak? Or are you hungry for some booze? I’m guessing booze.” It may not be 2277 Post Apocalyptia, but in the midst of the wasteland with raider and super mutant ambushes, you’re going to need a HP boost when you need it most. We couldn’t get the characteristic glow from the Strotium-90, as er…we couldn’t get any, but we improvised. Refreshment. Refreshment never changes.

Gin Peaks £7.50
Features & Design Hendrick’s gin, Boilermaker crème de tonka, Tia Maria, lemon & espresso. Served straight up, garnished with a h-hoot. Technical Information ‘Everyday, once a day, give yourself a present. Don’t plan it, don’t wait for it. Just let it happen. It could be a new shirt, a catnap in your office chair or two cups of good black coffee.’ An odd & peculiar combination of gin, coffee, citrus and our newly found favourite flavour, tonka bean liqueur.

Features & Design Coconut washed Reyka vodka, sriracha chilli, tomato, lemon & kaeng phed spices. Served short over ice & garnished with cilantro & lemongrass. Technical Information ‘There’s just one thing I gotta know, you got any aspirins? ‘Cause I’ve had a f***** bad headache all day long.’ Whilst we’re pretty sure that bloody mary’s don’t necessarily cure hangovers, that’s not going to stop us making yet another reference to a piece of pop culture, godammit! This is our 4th iteration on the classic. We’ve done BBQ Rib, Jamaican & KFC 1pc Chicken & Chips. Yippe Thai-Yay… Sorry we couldn’t help ourselves.

Thai Hard: With a Kaengence £8
Features & Design Broker’s gin, apple, minted pea syrup, lemon & pea soda. Served extensively long. Technical Information The easy option was to have this as the longest description in the menu. Even a summary of the original literature caused a glazed over look and we realised we’d be better off to read it at some point, but not today. A refreshingly long (very long) and balanced drink that’s pea-sy on the taste buds. We’re not even the least bit sorry for that one.

Bumblebee’s Picnic £7.50
Features & Design Zubrowka vodka, soured apple, honey, cucumber water and black pepper tincture. Served straight up with a picnic. Technical Information Nature’s a weird one. There’s bears and bees and god knows what else. It may be an awkward talking about the cucumbears and the bees. A short telltale that is refreshingly soured, balanced and succinct.

Nothing good happens after 2am but we never learn. The bartender’s ‘post-work, pre-I’ll go out for one’ shower. Peach bitters dabbed on the neck, a menthol mouth rinse and we’re feeling so fresh(ish) and so clean (not really).

Bull in a Boilershop £8
Features & Design Chorizo washed Tapatio Blanco tequila, apricot brandy, lime & paprikachilli tincture. Served short with an edible spiced apricot cape. Technical Information Somewhere down the line, the exact origins of the Margarita and its supposed precursor the Toreador have been largely lost to obscurity. A meaty & paprika tinged alternative to the latter and unlike the aforementioned bull, it’s a drink that required several attempts to get just right. Service & Support Not suitable for vegetarians

Technical Information After escaping the nefarious Doctor Neo Cortex. You’re tired and thirsty so why not chow down on some delicious Wumpa fruit. Are you going crazy or is that wooden mask talking to you? You’ll follow it anyway as it leads you on your journey, who knows where you’ll go but there’ll be a lot more talking masks hanging around. Short periods of invincibility not guaranteed.

Initial conditions would suggest this wouldn’t work with a heavy hitter such as Fernet Branca, but the perfect storm of spirit, sweet, herbal and bitter leads to a deterministic case of deliciousness.

All the men want to be him (pfft, yeah right), all the women want to be with him. Whether you fancy yourself a bit of a flair artiste á la Brian Flannigan of Cocktail (No we still haven’t seen it) or a suave spy like Ethan Hunt, now you can be both. Don’t say we didn’t warn you; but this cocktail will self-destruct in 10 seconds. Now was it blue or the red wire?

Fawlty Sour £7.50
Features & Design Disaronno, La Gitana manzanilla & Lustau Amontillado sherries, Gancia bianco, lemon, egg white & Bittermans celery bitters. Served straight up with the charm and wit of Basil. Technical Information And now for something completely different. Low ABV cocktails were out of our comfort zone but after much trial and mild tribulation we’ve nailed it. Disaronno, a combination of sherries and vermouth that even Mr Hamilton ordering a Waldorf salad couldn’t complain about. If we weren’t out of waldorf’s, that is. Service & Support Contains egg white. If none of those are your choice of tipple, we can do the classic stuff as well. Including but by no means limited to: Martini £7.50 Reyka vodka or Broker’s gin & Noilly prat. (dry/wet, twist/olive/naked). Manhattan £7.50 Rittenhouse 80 Rye, Cocchi di Torino & bitters. (sweet/dry/perfect). Last Word £7.50 Broker’s, Green Chartreuse, Luxardo maraschino & lime. Espresso Martini £7.50 Reyka vodka, Tia Maria & espresso. Paper Plane £7.50 Buffalo Trace, Aperol, Amaro Montenegro & lemon. Jungle Bird £7.50 House grog mk.II, Campari, lime & pineapple.
WINES & FIZZ
There are two types of wine essentially, and everybody knows this. There’s the one where you drink it and go, "Mmmm, well that’s okay, can we get 8 of those please, give us 8 of those." There’s the other one, you know, where you go "Ga..jesus, WHAT is that!?" Very, very occasionally I concede you will hit a subtle one. You know, where you go "Ga…ba…ah… actually that’s not that bad, that is. It’s quite nice.
