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.

When you arrive...

Guests are requested to arrive at least five minutes before treatment is due to start in order to change, if desired, and to fill out a medical questionnaire. Late arrival will mean that your treatment time is reduced or unable to be honoured.

All treatment times indicated include an allowance of five minutes for consultation, dressing and undressing. Please ensure that mobile phones and pagers are switched off during your visit to The Spa.
