ABOUT

Dray Walk Bar — An Elevated Platform for Music & Premium Drinks Activations
Situated in the heart of Truman Brewery’s cultural campus, Dray Walk Bar (DWB) offers a distinctive, character-rich setting for music-led activations, premium drink launches, and lifestyle brand experiences. Once a fully functioning bar, now a dry hire venue, this space brings together authentic East London edge with built-in functionality — ready for your team to transform.
Whether you're launching an artist, previewing a product, or curating a one-night-only brand experience, DWB delivers atmosphere, flexibility, and credibility in one.
