Thomas Burberry opened his first showroom in the building we now lease. Gabardine was the waterproof fabric he invented back in 1857. Gabardine is also a great play on words for us as it incorporate’s the words bar and dine which is our place.We recently did a revamp after a trip to Boston and New York picking up ideas from lots of independent coffee and wine bars.We hope you enjoy our place as much as we have building it.We pride ourselves on being a community hub for people to relax, hold meetings and parties.We are always looking to help the community in anyway so if you have any ideas please let us know
