bbar
Victoria, London
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.
A restorative journey
Summer Lodge is a wonderful environment in which to relax and recharge your batteries. There is a wide collection of treatments to choose from, including restorative facials for men and women, head and full body massages, manicures, pedicures and more.
