bbar

Victoria, London

Leopard Print Background Desktop

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.

We care about…

Our children’s future

We continue to reduce most unnecessary single-use plastics within our hotels and we work with Winnow Solutions to reduce our food waste and measure and manage our energy use. We proudly work with Clean Conscience to recycle leftover toiletries, and stock Belu water throughout our hotels.

Africa

We work closely with The TreadRight Foundation and Wild Entrust Africa. Our sustainable initiatives are at the heart of everything we do, from sending organic waste to communities local to Xigera for their garden projects, to protecting a herd of Cape Mountain Zebras and ancient rock art sites, both at Bushmans Kloof.

Our honey bees

We enjoy growing our own ingredients in the hotel kitchen gardens and caring for our hotel bees that make honey for our guests to enjoy at breakfast. Our possession of apiaries at four of our properties, three of which are in London (Hotel 41, The Chesterfield, and The Montague), furthers our sustainable food agenda. 

Our living wall

We are proud to sustain one of London’s largest Living Walls, standing at 350 square metres and with a total of 10,000 herbaceous plants, providing a wildlife habitat for the city’s bees, butterflies, and birds.

MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experiences

Chosen for the positive impact they have on the traveller and communities we explore, these are selected with great care to directly advance the United Nations Global Goals.
