  We popped out the back with the promise of stone fired pizza and cool drinks. Great vibe on a Tuesday night. We were hungry so ordered drinks and food straight away at the bar. Friendly staff brought the meals over asap so they were hot and tasty on arrival. Great first meal in London.

  Gin specialist bar offers gin tastes, gin&tonics and gin based cocktails among others. The btw tonic it’s unique but honestly, just don’t work as it gives a lot of sweetness to the gin. It was a pity because we are gin lovers and we left the place a bit frustrated. The cocktails though seem to be better.

  I decided to do a cheeky tour of bermondsey last week. A friend had mentioned that there were a few tucked away locations in that area, so i gave them all a go. 214 Bermondsey was a great Gin bar set underneath their restaurant. The friendly staff sat us and ran through a couple of house favourites. The cocktails arrived quickly, a little basic for my taste but were quite nice and not over priced. I would definitely recommend this bar, its not going to change your view on mixology but will not disappoint.

  Tucked away underneath the basement of Antico restaurant lays 214 Bermondsey Gin bar. Opened for over 18 months with a soft launch in April, 214 Bermondsey specialises in gin cocktails. Ive been told the tonic water took a while to perfect. As with the food from Antico is made on premises upstairs, Nick Crispini the owner wanted to create their own tonic water.Whether youre a gin lover or novice, there are over 50 brands on offer, from the traditional London drys, Scottish, American drys, maritime and many others. Youre spoilt for choices.The very first thing my friend and I tried was the gin cocktails, I was recommended the 214 Collins the classic gin cocktail. Hammer Gin is mixed with lemon juice, Campari & sugar & is then stirred over soda & ice. It had a lot of citrus notes, and at first it left a bitter aftertaste, but half way through the drink I started to enjoy it. Most of the gin cocktails range from 6-10.Up next was the fun part of the night. Ever thought you were a gin connoisseur? Then take up the gin flight challenge, were you blind test 3 different gins with the 214s house tonic.The gin flights fall under a few categories, once they arrive an enveloped sealed with a red candle wax is presented with the 3 Gin and tonics. We choose The London tour and The international, with only the menu with a list of the gins and their tasting notes to guide you.After our drinks it was time to soak up the alcohol with some food, on the blackboard bar snacks on offer from 3, antipasto from 7 and bigger plates from 10 onwards. Both the bread and pasta was impressive, with full on flavours. We both went for pastas; it was absolutely delicious, freshly made on premises from Antico kitchens. thefoodconnoisseur.co.uk
