The Brain Jar is a cocktail and pizza bar in the Old Town of Hull.
The Humberside bar serves over 60 cocktails and temperance mixes, craft and bottle conditioned beer, wine and spirits as well as 25 different loose leaf teas, locally roasted coffee, and food.
It has two floors and three generous sized rooms where it hosts parties, gigs, art exhibitions, comedy nights, opera, presentations, celebrations, and workshops.
The goal of the Brain Jar is to create a “third place” between work and home which encourages “conversation, the interaction of differing ideas, and a proactive approach to tackling the challenges.”
The drinks menu includes classic cocktails such as Old Fashioned, Rusty Nail and Bramble.
But the real innovation takes place on the Seasonal section of the menu with drinks such as a Mushroom Old Fashioned made with shiitake mushroom infused Toki Whiskey, Amontillado sherry, milk washed miso & white chocolate mushroom and the Tarot Cake with Absolut Vanil Vodka, Pedro Ximinez, Allspice Dram, Dry Curacao, carrot, lime and cream cheese frosting.
The house favourites are also a delight with the Salty Russian, made with Stoli salted caramel vodka, Kahlua, whole milk, cream and Stoopwafel and the Rainbow Juice with Absolute Vanilia Vodka, Limoncello Di Capri, banana, strawberry, lemon and soda.
