About Chapel Place Wine and Gin
Chapel Place Wine and Gin is a wine bar and gin bar in Tunbridge Wells, at 18 Chapel Pl. The shelves hold a large selection of gins from around the world alongside locally distilled bottles, so the range covers both distant and nearby producers. Wines, beers and cocktails sit next to the gins for those who want something else. The bar itself is small, with little seating areas, and the design follows a construction theme. Live music plays here, including live jazz. Upstairs, a salon displays art. The venue also holds private parties, including birthday parties, for groups.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return above all for the gin, singling out a large variety from all over the world as well as locally distilled bottles, with a sweet shop array on the shelves. Wine, beer and cocktails sit close behind, and several mention gin and tonics specifically. The atmosphere is described as warm, welcoming and cozy, small in size but big on warmth, with one comparing it to the TV series Cheers. Live jazz and live music come up more than once, along with a playlist one reviewer loved.

Staff are called friendly, attentive and quick to serve, and two reviewers describe private parties, a 30th and a Halloween birthday, that the team made stress free. One reviewer notes they had no food, and none of the others mention any. No complaints appear in the reviews. Reviewers who have hosted parties there mention the team helping make the night special.

“The best gin bar in Tunbridge Wells. I have been coming to Chapel Place for several years and recently had a private party there for my 30th. Elliot and the team were very helpful and chilled which made the night perfectly stress free. Thank you once again for an amazing evening, I couldn’t recommend the bar, gins and cocktails enough 🫶 xx”

“I had a Halloween birthday party here at the weekend and I couldn’t recommend this place enough. Elliot and Jess went above and beyond to make it special. Adored every minute and such good value for money. Drinks and wine list are great, location is ideal. We will be back again and again and recommend it to everyone! Thanks so much Elliot, you’re the best! xx”
