Lovely small plates and great cocktails

Came here for dinner and drinks and really enjoyed both. We’ve had 6 small plates between the two of us (2-3 plates would be enough for one person). The food was delicious and the place itself is really nice and stylish

Excellent, love it here.

We parked in a pay and display just across the road from Wherry Quay. The Gallery is a great space. Loved the ambience, the music choice (and that it wasn’t too loud). The cocktail menu is brilliant, there are mocktails as well, and soft drinks, and wine, plus beer and zero alcohol beer. The food menu is great, small plates and/or pizza. We had the three plates for £16 offer. Oh my, it was delicious. We had the bruschetta, teriyaki aubergine, and patatas bravas.
We had a Solero mocktail and a dirty vodka martini. Then after our delicious food we had a zero beer and an old fashioned 😋
Can’t wait to visit Ipswich again so we can chill out in this fabulous place.

p.s. loved the mixed gender toilet area, large space nicely decorated. And the soap smells wonderful.

Wonderful

Such a great place. My sister and I had the sharing tapas which was delicious and filling. The cocktails were also good and the staff lovely.
It's not cheap but you get what you pay for and is a great place for a classy night out. Next time I am in Ipswich I'll be back!

Pros: All vegan

Cons: Nothing

Elegant cocktails and great vibe

This beautifully decorated bar feels like a secret discovery, located down a side alley in the marina. It’s filled with moody lighting, tasteful decor and super friendly staff who are knowledgable in their recommendations. The food is fully plant-based with inventive small plates like vegan black pudding and peppers, and coriander naan with pulled jackfruit, guacamole and sour kraut.

Pros: All vegan tapas-style menu, Classy but cool décor, Friendly staff

Great cocktails, very impressive tapas.

The tapas were incredibly tasty, I really was not expecting each dish to be so good. Highlights include the Open BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich on Naan Bread, Vegan Black Pudding slices, and the Italian style Soya meatballs served with the pesto butterbeans. As expected from John [censored], the cocktails were unbelievable. It's a shame that honey is used in one of the cocktails as otherwise, this place would be completely vegan - hopefully, in the future, honey can be substituted for Agave Syrup or a plant-based alternative. Will definitely be returning.

The staff were very knowledgeable and attentive.

Pros: Large selection of food to choose from, Incredibly tasty tapas, Attentive and friendly staff

Cons: Honey in one cocktail
