Get into the spirit of World Rum Day at these dockside hotspots
Rum, don't walk to these dockside bars and restaurants and celebrate World Rum Day on Saturday 9th July with a perfectly concocted cocktail.
Lerpwl
The cocktails at Ellis Barrie’s restaurant are as equally delicious as the food, with their summer terrace the perfect spot to soak up the views of the dock whilst working your way through the expertly crafted menu. The Copacabana comprises Plantation Rum, Giffard Banane, pineapple, lime, and coconut foam, for Lerpwl’s sophisticated take on the classic Pina Colada.

The One O’Clock Gun
This throwback New York pub-style bar offers a varied cocktail menu which packs a punch, along with great food to soak up the drinks, live music and even monthly quizzes. Pull up a chair dockside and sip on the Gunslinger, a sweet mix of Gosling’s dark rum, amaretto, pineapple, citrus and cream soda.

Madre
Madre may be renowned for their tequila fuelled margaritas which pair exquisitely with their freshly made tacos, but their additional cocktail menu signatures are not to be missed either. The Bandaq cocktail is the perfect post meal digestif, comprising Bacardi Carta blanca rum, fresh banana, condensed milk, Biscoff spread and root beer served frozen.
