About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Lively
  • Great for creative cocktails
Located separately to our restaurant, our basement bar has been home to a crack team of cocktail-geek bartenders for the last 4 years with both the bar and the people winning numerous accolades as amongst the best the world’s cocktail industry has to offer. Our newly launched menu features numerous Hawksmoor classics from what we think of as our ‘gin years’.

Ten years on the gin will either make you ultra-creative or head-throbbingly depressed and thankfully for us it was the former, and those classic Hawksmoor drinks are joined by what can best be described as the result of our bartender’s unique talent and fertile imagination.

Our Bar food menu is a greatest hits list of the best from all our bars over the last decade, including shortrib nuggets (a Time Out ‘Top 10 Dishes in London’), burgers, dogs, lobster rolls and poutine.


We do not serve our full menu or steaks at Spitalfields Bar.

She was funny, friendly and an absolute asset to the restaurant. The food was also absolutely delicious - the best burger I’ve ever had and that was definitely the case for most of my table!!!

The bar itself only has a limited burger menu and you cannot order from the restaurant menu. We even received a call from the venue to confirm the booking and they did not specify that it is separate to the restaurant. However the staff were friendly and the burgers ok - albeit slightly overpriced for what you get.

                                                                                                          Is this helpful?
