The Dispensary Turns 100!

The building we now know as The Embankment was originally built in the early 20th century as Boots’ second dispensary shop – and the bar still proudly carries the name The Dispensary today.

To celebrate over a century of history, the Embankment team are taking you back to the 1920s for one unforgettable evening.

  • Live music from Swing Gitan, performing swing, jazz, and ragtime all night

  • A special 1920’s-inspired cocktail menu

  • Vintage games from the era

  • Staff in full 1920’s bartender attire – and customers are encouraged to dress up too (think Peaky Blinders!)

Free entry | From 6pm | In The Dispensary at The Embankment

Step back in time and raise a glass to 100 years of history with the wonderful Embankment team.
