gin palace
Ornate Victorian bar
A gin palace is a large, ornately decorated pub or bar, originally referring to Victorian-era drinking establishments in Britain that featured elaborate gas lighting, mirrors, and gilded interiors to attract working-class customers.
The term now describes any lavishly decorated bar: The corner pub had been renovated into a proper gin palace with crystal chandeliers and marble countertops.
