About Molly
Molly is a speakeasy-style bar in the city centre, reached through a wooden door off Odgers Lane. It pours an extensive whisky list and crafted cocktails, with live jazz on many nights. Guests head down a grand timber staircase into a room of coffered ceilings, crystal chandeliers and old-fashioned table service. The look takes its cue from the late 1920s. Functions can use booths in the main bar, the private Vault, or the whole venue on an exclusive basis. The Vault has a dedicated bar and suits up to 55 guests, while the Vault and main bar together cater for 10 to 150. Food for events is grazing-style, built around platters and canapés from the bar's kitchen. On the drinks side, expect barrel-aged cocktails, premium beers, champagne and a deep whisky collection. The Vault also hosts private whisky tastings across four tiers and hands-on cocktail classes, which work well as a start to a hens or bucks night. A live jazz band can be added to a Christmas party or celebration, and the functions team plans each event with the host.
