Cabinet Rooms

As an ex-professional caterer I can always find fault when I eat out. Not this time. Everything was perfect from the setting and crockery to the quality of the tea and food. If I was being hyper critical it took a while for the order to arrive but who cares when the quality is high. Superb attention to detail thanks to everyone at the Cabinet Rooms.

After many years of longing to take a seat at this quintessential Winchester establishment, I have finally ventured indoors and it most definitely didn’t disappoint!!!
I had a delicious waffle, a scrumptiously moreish Icelandic cake and a perfectly balanced French 75 that just made my day!
On the service perspective everything was perfect, checked back on at just the right moment, incredibly attentive and just lovely people!
Soon to return !!

I had a delicious decaf Americano with maple syrup and almond milk. Really friendly service and I love the decor with the books and candles. I have been here for a book launch in the past (Amanda Craig) and this is a delightful venue. Can't wait to come back.

Lovely bijou cafe/cocktail lounge. Stopped for a quick takeaway flat white and had a warm welcome. Will be back to sample more another time

Delicious cakes, personal service and elegant decor. Very excited to see the expansion into the neighbouring building. I will definitely return!

One of our favourite places to stop on the walk home. Good coffee, just right tray bake and good atmosphere.

Off the High street but eminently accessible, this brilliant cocktail lounge is one of Winchester’s most accomplished artisan establishments.

Located on Jewry St in Winchester, Cabinet Rooms lives a dual life as both cafe and cocktail bar. This charming, cosy and intimate venue offers a wide selection of aperitifs and cocktails complimented with a considered choice of wines and spirits.

The right ingredients for a cocktail lounge are well established - service, knowledge and decor lie at the heart of any successful outfit. Cabinet Rooms has all three in abundance and offers the discerning consumer a variety of experiences from quick pre-dinner cocktail through to a longer, leisurely journey through its carefully constructed drinks list.

Gary and Nick are consummate mixologists capable of accommodating off-menu requests as easily as they can turn out time-worn and reliable favourites. The wine list has an excellent representation of diverse wines that will please both local and visitors alike, including some rare Hampshire sparkling that is a must-try. Nibbles are available but weren’t sampled.

It’s decor is a pleasant and cosy mix that walks a well balanced line between Nouveau and Deco with a twist reflecting the owners own imprimatur. The intimate space is perfectly suited for its purpose, allowing for private conversation as well as mixing.

Our cocktails (one on menu and one off) were both carefully prepared, well presented and thoroughly delightful. The staff and owners are more than happy to discuss options and alternatives with you - their expansive and refined knowledge ensuring that no taste goes unfulfilled. Pricing is inline with industry standards.

Cabinet Rooms has the hallmarks of a well-planned, positioned and operated venue - making it a rare and welcome find in a sector not known for its success outside the M25.

Highly recommend to all.

Brilliant place, great cocktails. Brilliant atmosphere. If you don't visit you are missing out
