Victoria’s best cocktail venue

Located beneath London's largest Living Wall, recently replanted with more than 6,000 herbaceous plants to breathe life into our surroundings, bbar is a vibrant cocktail bar and restaurant in the heart of Victoria.

Our new menu plays homage to our heritage, with dishes that beautifully reflect the flavours of South Africa with a playful twist, from Boerewors Eggs Benedict with chilli chutney biltong to The Gatsby Sub, a Western Cape pulled BBQ short rib of beef.

Alongside this exceptional new menu, we have live mix sessions and DJ sets throughout the week, as well as contemporary signature cocktails created by our resident mixologists.

Tasting notes

Blanc de Mer – ‘white of the sea’ – is built on a foundation of Riesling, which provides a foundation of linearity, while fully-ripe Viognier from the Elgin valley contributes a nose of bright floral fragrance. Chardonnay brings richness and structure, while the inclusion of a small percentage of Sauvignon Blanc adds a subtle freshness and acidity. A wonderful pairing with an array of seafood dishes, the Blanc de Mer is also a perfect aperitif.
