SELECTED AS ONE OF THE TOP 5 BARS IN ENGLAND 2023



VOTED BEST BAR IN ESSEX 2023

NUMBER 92 is an ambient bar in Braintree town centre, which has a total seating capacity of 50 people. It was launched in September 2020 and offers seated table service. It has established itself as the premium venue in the district.
You can take our word for that, or alternatively have a look at what a few of our customers have shared online:
“More like a hidden treasure from somewhere in West London than a place you usually find in Braintree. Great cocktails. Great little bar.” “We stumbled across this bar on a two-night stay in Braintree and thank god we did as it’s by far and away the best place for a drink in the whole town.” “Found this little gem by accident. Easily the best bar in Braintree. Far too many drinks on the menu for one sitting. Just means I will have to return!”

In November 2022 the venue further extended its offering by incorporating the “speakeasy style” Essex Cocktail Club into its basement.
