Description:
The Drawing Board changes character as the day goes on, beginning as a relaxed café serving breakfasts, coffee, sandwiches and casual lunches before transforming into a lively late-night bar. The drinks menu covers cocktails, beer, wine and spirits, while its central location and remarkably late closing time make it a useful option whether you need brunch, afternoon drinks or somewhere to keep the night going.

​

Good for:
Breakfast · coffee · casual lunches · cocktails · day drinking · late-night drinks · weekend parties · outdoor seating · group catch-ups · nights that refuse to end

​

Make a Day of It:
Browse Coney Street and Stonegate, stop at The Drawing Board for lunch or an afternoon cocktail, then explore the nearby river and Museum Gardens. Return later when the coffee cups have made way for cocktail glasses and New Street has decided that going home before 04:00 would be unnecessarily sensible.

​

The Tidy Take:
The Drawing Board is impressively adaptable. It can feed you breakfast, supply an afternoon cocktail and still be pouring drinks long after most respectable plans have collapsed, making it less a café-bar and more an entire day’s itinerary under one roof.
