Situated under the National Justice Museum, the Moorish inspired interior is set in the grade II listed county gaol, which boasts 800 years of history. Browns Bar and Brasserie is a spacious and atmospheric building in the heart of the cultural castle district, near the Georgian splendour of Regent Street at the top of Maid Marian Way.
