Friday & Saturday · From 4pm · Newport, Isle of Wight

After dark

Where Wadhams comes alive after dark.

Sip Sip is the evening experience at Wadhams. The same rooms that fill St James' Square with coffee and conversation by day slow down, warm up and become something else after hours.

Cocktails poured slowly, records on, lights low and the conversation easy. Same welcome. Same people. Dressed for the night.

The drinks

Drinks worth talking about.

A considered list poured with care — cocktails shaken fresh, and wines, local beers, premium spirits and thoughtful non-alcoholic drinks that hold their own.
