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.

Looking to the future...

Our sustainability efforts are currently focused on phasing out all single use plastics by the end of 2022, while partnering with Winnow technology to reduce food wastage. The Red Carnation Hotel Collection is part of The Travel Corporation family of brands and works in proud partnership with its TreadRight Foundation to #MakeTravelMatter.

How you can help

Fill-a-bucket

Help us combat the scourge of ocean plastics. For every beach-bucket of rubbish collected from Umhlanga beach by hotel residents, we offer a complimentary drink in the hotel bar. It’s our way of saying ‘thank you’ for helping us keep our beaches clean.

Rhinos Without Borders
