Can You See My Growler?

We now offer take away draught beer options in 2 pint milk cartons & 1 litre reusable glass growlers. As we emerge from lockdown we’re hoping that drinking in will become a possibility again…until then this will have to do…

 

ReOpening?

We very much want the new normal to be somewhat reminiscent of the old normal so it’s unlikely we will be opening in July.

Simply put I don’t feel that within the current guidelines we can operate safely, profitably and in any way reminiscent of what we were doing before.

I feel that the bar is and always has been the beating heart of our operation & until we can see the whites of your eyes (and lick them) we will hold fire. Don’t even get me started on how to safely operate a socially distant kitchen!

We want to create a safe environment for staff and patrons alike so in the meantime please support us through The DB Bottle Shop. We want to come back, and we will, but we want to get it right.

Buy Beers & Stuff Online

Hello. We are now delivering beer and other bits locally from The DB Bottle Shop. You can use this handy link

www.thedrawingboard.shop

and as long as you spend £20 or over we’ll bother to get out of bed and bring it to you. It’s new & online and I made it so if its broken, don’t cry about it, just email me instead. hello@thedrawingboard.pub

We will deliver in a relatively timely fashion and leave it on your doorstep. We will be social distancing so don’t ask us to put it away for you.

As time passes we’ll upload more stuff you can buy but its all slightly dependent on how much stock we can afford/get hold of and how much I fall back in love with this Playstation. Swings and roundabouts.

Normal Service Will Resume…

So look, we’re closing the doors tonight at 10pm and we’ll remain closed for the foreseeable.

It sucks, though we haven’t had any clear direction from the government we feel that it doesn’t sit right that we remain open for both customers & staff alike.

It’s almost five years since we opened our doors at The DB and for those of you that know us, know we certainly don’t do this lightly. We’ll be open again as soon as it’s safe, keep an eye out for that bat signal!

In the meantime the DB Bottle Shop on Court Street remains open and delivering – our new Shopify site will be up and running over the weekend. Craft beer, Cider, Japanese Whisky & Artisan spirits – y’know the important stuff!

Thanks for all your kind messages, support and love.

Ps.

Please don’t loot us it’s probably not covered under the insurance either.

Take Out Menu

You can now take food from The DB safely home with the Drawing Board Take Out Menu Available 12-3, 5.30 – 9pm today anyway – we’re making it up as we go along…

Call 01926 330636 and we’ll cook you some stuff. We’ll talk deliveries tomorrow…

 

Full Time Staff Wanted

There are certain types of people that thrive in a busy, chatty, friendly environment – if you feel that you’re one of them, we’d love for you to join us – we can teach you the rest.

Alternatively come to an interview that we stare at you and wonder why you thought it was a good idea.

If you fancy a natter, drop us an email hello@thedrawingboard.pub

Join The Rebellion

Tiny rebel are back at The DB Bottle Shop on Thursday, January 30th.
Adam is bringing a rather special limited edition DB Stay Puft as well as some rather sexy Tiny Rebel cans & draught. More details to follow… Save the date!

Camoufleur IPA

We have another new brew on the go, this time with our friends at Church Farm Brewery in Warwick.
Camoufleur IPA will be available rather soon as a permanent listing at The DB for your facial hoofing. Taking its cues from certain bar favourites we’re hoping it’ll do well. Camoufleur takes its name from the WW2 Leamington Spa based artists who were tasked with concealing important sites from enemy aircraft & submarines.

Click here for some more blurb.

Obviously I have a personal obsession with Camo but to be able to celebrate it with a beer is a bit of a bucket list win!
