Unusual

The historically listed building has been subtly enhanced, retaining the strong undercurrents of the Victorian era that revelled in anatomy, erotica and botanicals. In stark architectural contrast to its neighbouring buildings, The Bathhouse is an undiscovered beauty that is more than just a bar, a restaurant or an entertainment space, tighten your corset for a decadent step back in time
