St Bart’s Brewery - bar review

What they say: A 120-cover British diner, lounge and bar whose Hush Heath Estate in Kent supplies the sparkling wines and ciders.

What we say: A first-class addition to the foodie enclave of Smithfield. Punters spill out of the front door, flutes of the brand’s own strawberry and blackcurrant sparkling cider in hand (not to mention beers). The bar food — crispy flatbread, fat chips, everything cheesy — is the perfect accompaniment.

Good for: Superior post-work drinks for all ages.

Order: The gin and marmalade cocktail.

By the way: They are hosting regular live music nights on the ground floor.
