Tucked away in the industrial heart of Three Mills, Jim & Tonic at The Print House is the kind of spot where old warehouse bones meet modern gin culture. You’ll find a sprawling riverside terrace perfect for summer evenings, plus a distillery right on-site where you can sip your way through their house gins. The menu leans into modern European fare with solid pizza and burger options, but it’s the atmosphere—think exposed brick, high ceilings, and that post-industrial cool—that really sets it apart.
Industrial charm with great gin and riverside views
Jim & Tonic at The Print House hits that sweet spot between a proper local watering hole and a destination bar with a story. The space itself is impressive—a converted warehouse with high ceilings and riverside views that make it feel like you’ve escaped central London, even though you’re right in Stratford. The gin selection is the real draw here; you can tour the distillery on-site and taste their house spirits, which is a nice touch for cocktail nerds.
Food-wise, it’s not trying to be Michelin-starred, but the pizza and burgers are solid for the price, especially during their 2-for-1 deals on Tuesdays. The terrace is a major plus in summer, though it’s worth noting most of it is uncovered, so bring a jacket if it’s windy. Service can be a bit hit-or-miss during peak times, but the vibe usually makes up for it.
If you’re heading to an Abba Voyage show, this is a smart pre-show spot—just book ahead and give yourself at least two hours. It’s not the most polished venue in London, but it’s got character, great drinks, and a real sense of place that you won’t find in the high street chains.
