Every Friday and Saturday evening, we throw open our distillery doors to welcome everyone in for great food, proper drinks, and good company — right in the beating heart of our working distillery. It’s where you can sip our spirits where they’re made, meet the faces behind every bottle, and experience the craft, care and community that define Conker.
From our signature cocktails to the laughter and clinking glasses that fill the room, this is where the Conker spirit truly lives. Come as you are, bring your crew, and taste life together.
Space for you and your crew.
Whether it’s a relaxed evening with friends or a big birthday bash, our Tap Room has a spot for you.
Book a table and make yourself at home — or reserve a spot for up to 50 people and create your own corner for a proper get-together. You’ll be surrounded by good vibes, good company and the unmistakable buzz of our distillery.
Our team will make sure you’re looked after from the moment you walk in. We’ll shake the cocktails, pour the pints, and bring you the kind of night that reminds you what connection feels like.
The whole family.
Family-friendly, fun, and full of flavour.
We love seeing families come together in our Tap Room — it’s what we’re all about. There’s plenty of space for the kids, a thoughtful range of soft drinks and mocktails, and food that keeps everyone happy.
While we can’t welcome dogs inside (sorry, furry friends), our space is all about warmth and inclusivity — a place where everyone feels part of the family.
Whether it’s an early dinner, a birthday meal, or a laid-back evening together, we’ve built a space where the whole family can slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the simple joy of great food and drink.
The drinks.
More than just gin.
Our Tap Room bar is a celebration of everything we craft — and everything we love to drink. Yes, you’ll find our award-winning Dorset Dry Gin and Conker Coffee Liqueur shaken, stirred, and served to perfection — but that’s just the start.
We pour guest local beers, crisp Midas Prosecco, and a rotating list of handpicked favourites that celebrate the best of Dorset and beyond.
Our menu is a collection of our favourite ways to enjoy our spirits — from bright and refreshing long drinks to indulgent cocktails that invite you to stay a little longer.
Every serve is made with care and designed for sharing — because the best drinks are the ones that bring people together.
The Food.
Incredible food from Dorset’s finest.
We partner with some of Dorset’s most exciting independent foodies to keep things fresh, local, and full of flavour.
Our yard transforms each week with the arrival of different street food heroes — from the wood-fired perfection of Doughbox sourdough pizzas to the outrageously good smash burgers from Smashing Patties.
There’s always something new cooking up, and we’ll keep you posted on what’s hitting the yard each weekend via our social pages.
Whatever’s on the menu, expect food that pairs perfectly with our drinks — unpretentious, bold, and made with genuine craft.
Come hungry, leave delighted.
Why we do it.
It’s simple — we love bringing people together.
Our Tap Room is more than a bar. It’s a place to celebrate flavour, craftsmanship, and good company. It’s where our guests meet the folks behind the bottles they love, where conversations flow as easily as the cocktails, and where friendships are made one round at a time.
For us, the Tap Room is our way of saying thank you — to the community that’s helped us build Conker from the ground up.
Every night we open those doors, we get to share what we love most: honest craft, good food, and great people.
We’re on an ambitious journey to make the Conker Tap Room one of the best places to eat and drink in the UK — and we can’t wait to welcome you into the family.
