Vermuteria is a classic, euro neighbourhood bar. We have a big focus on vermouth, sherry, classic cocktails and tasty snacks. Like a traditional Spanish ‘vermuteria’, our vermouth is served straight out of our 100L barrels behind the bar and our very popular semi-dry is served chilled from the tap. On the food front, you can select from tasty bar snacks like our range of tinned seafood, gildas and jamon serrano or warm snacks like our mortadella sandwich and anchovy & goat’s cheese toast. We also love to support local with cheeses from neighbourhood cheesemonger, Penny’s Cheese Shop and LP’s quality meats feature heavily with their chorizo and hot dogs. Please note that Vermuteria is an 18+ only venue.

This was our second visit to Two 88 Bar And Kitchen and our food choice did not disappoint as it was delicious. The atmosphere was soothing and my wife loved listening to the background music play list. Will definitely return for more food and drinks when visiting the City.
