"This Gilbert Place establishment has a two-word slogan – ‘lifting spirits’ – and it doesn’t disappoint with its extensive selection of quality gin, rum, and whiskey. The exterior of Hains & Co looks like a classic London pub, while the interior looks like the cabin of a ship, the outside area’s cigar smokers whiff like in Cuba, and the deep-fried bar food taste like the southern States."
