City of London's Best Bars: Experience the Elegance of 1 Lombard Street

At 1 Lombard Street, our bar reflects the spirit of the City itself: refined, full of character, and always buzzing with energy.

Whether you’re joining us for after-work drinks, a celebratory toast, or a spontaneous evening out, we offer a space that feels both sophisticated and relaxed, right in the heart of London’s historic square mile.

 The Setting

Located in a former bank just moments from Bank Station, our bar sits beneath a striking domed skylight — a centrepiece that brings natural light and energy into the space.

Original architectural details like high ceilings and curved walls add character, while the layout and lighting create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. It’s a space that nods to the building’s heritage without feeling stuck in the past — elegant, open, and designed for the City crowd to unwind in style.

Cocktails: What’s on the Menu

Our cocktail menu at 1 Lombard Street blends creativity with craftsmanship, offering a mix of classics with a twist and seasonal signatures. Highlights include the Pink Vesper, an all-English take on the Martini; the Lombard Martini, designed for two and available to take away; and the Sugar Snap Margarita, infused with pea and wasabi for a fresh, spicy kick.

From fruit-forward blends like Joe’s Tulip to sparkling spritzes like She’s a Suitor, each drink is made with premium spirits and a refined touch.

Wine, Whisky & More: A Well-Curated Selection

Whether you're winding down after work or celebrating something special, our drinks list is designed to impress. From crisp Proseccos and elegant English sparkling wines to bold reds and zesty whites, each bottle is hand-picked for quality and character.

Enjoy fine wines by the glass or explore rare vintages from the cellar. For whisky lovers and teetotal guests alike, our broad selection includes premium spirits and refined non-alcoholic options, ensuring everyone finds their perfect pour.

Perfect Pairings

Not just a bar- an evening out. Alongside expertly crafted drinks, our food menu turns casual cocktails into a full experience.

From quick bites to sharing boards, our bar snacks are made to pair perfectly. Try grilled olives, halloumi skewers with spiced tomato sauce, or Chips & Béarnaise Sauce. For something heartier, go for our charcuterie board with grilled sourdough or a British farmhouse cheese board from Neal’s Yard Dairy.

Seafood lovers can enjoy British rock oysters with shallot vinegar – a classic pairing with fizz or a sharp martini.

Our menu evolves with the seasons, so be sure to ask about current chef specials and limited-time bites.

After Work, Date Night, or a Celebration

Whether you're winding down after work, planning a romantic evening, or raising a glass for a birthday, 1 Lombard fits the occasion.

There’s a weekday buzz that makes it perfect for after-office drinks, while weekends offer a more relaxed, intimate vibe ideal for date nights and celebrations.

As one of the best bars in the City of London, we offer a setting that’s as versatile as your plans.
