"Babylon is a short walk from FogHorn and is a delightful space in which to enjoy beer and beer's distilled close cousin. Set in an old ballroom, with two magnificent chandeliers hanging over the bar area, this beautiful old building is reminiscent of the 1920s with its hidden away booths, striking bar with a rolling ladder, and the sound of jazz standards in the air. Boasting a wall of more than 200 whiskies and 14 taps of beer, Babylon is a space that compares to few others and offers the perfect opportunity to discover flavours as the hours of the night disappear."

"Housed within an old Methodist building that dates back to 1903, Babylon oozes 1920’s vibes with its high ceilings, exuberant chandeliers and vaulted accents. Seemingly endless rows of spirits  line the walls behind the bar, but the speciality here is whiskey. You’ll find hundreds of varieties from all around the world to choose from."
