Putney High Street is set to get a new bar with the forthcoming opening of The Boilermaker.

Describing itself as an independent neighbourhood cocktail pub serving cold beer and classic wines it will be taking over the former premises at number 12 of Peachy Queen which opened only last year.

We have tried to contact the new owners without success but, according to industry sources the venture is the brainchild of mixologists and bar owners, Damian Jones and James Fowler, who are also behind the award-winning cocktail bar, The Gibson, in Clerkenwell.

The Boilermaker will be a New York-style cocktail bar, with a focus on classic cocktails and boilermakers (a shot of whiskey and a beer). The bar will have a mix of booths and high tables.
