Gin and Olive Bar and Restaurant

Six months ago a cute new bar and restaurant opened on our road, and last weekend Rob and I finally got around to popping in to the Gin and Olive (website).  Although we only had a few drinks, they serve food here too (and by looking at the menu, it sounds pretty good). It's completely different to anywhere else I've visited in Southsea, but I loved it.

It's decorated in such a unique and rustic way, and there's a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere.  I love all of the decorative touches, and spent the first ten minutes of our visit looking at everything on the walls!

The menu boasts a huge range of gins - I had no idea there were so many! The staff are so helpful, and eager to encourage you to try something new.  Rob took our waiter's advice and found himself a new favourite gin! I went for a mixed berry cocktail and loved every sip - it was delicious! 

In the evenings on the weekends, the Gin and Olive is packed with people spilling out onto the pavement, but there is still a friendly, light-hearted atmosphere.  I adore this little bar, and this definitely won't be my last visit - I can't wait to try the food!
