Two One Four

To be fair, I'd recommend this cocktail bar; transparent pricing through a decent happy hour and a decent Sunday social offer. Seating is nice and the overall environment is nice. My only comment would be that their cocktails are not hugely creative but during happy hour, arguely excellent anyway. For London, good value is hard to find and for that, 214 does provide that.

This place is such a good hidden gem. I’ve been here when it’s quiet and when it’s been absolutely packed. All times I’ve had a great time. Set below flour & grape, it’s the perfect spot before joining the queue. You can pay and bring your drinks upstairs to dinner. Being a gin bar, it has a wide selection of gin that the server was more than happy to talk us through. Served with local Bermondsey tonic. Happy hour prices are only £6.

Attached to flour & grape above (very good Italian). Came here for cocktails and nibbles whilst we waited. They do £7 aperitivo hour 5-6pm FYI! My friend had the biscoff espresso martini but he rated it a 6/10, said it was watery. Mine was the spicy mescal/gin cocktail, realllly good! The salted almonds and selection of bread & oil was delicious. Gets busy but there’s lots of seats and everyone shares. Slightly confusing name (now realise it’s to do with the street number), they should do a 2-4-1 offer at some times to maximise on their bar name! You can also get wine or cocktails and take it to your table upstairs when seated.

Buzzy, busy, popular, friendly, intoxicating. A favourite gin and cocktail bar who stock an interesting range of lesser spotted gin bottles. Start early, 5pm gains you an hour of happy hour prices, and combine £6 double G&Ts with the amazing desserts from the restaurant upstairs and you are on to a winner. Fabulous.

Intimate basement cocktail bar with a very extensive back bar selection. The staff are knowledgeable and always give excellent recommendations. Their Gin flight menu is fantastic and the cocktail list has many classics and twists as this old soak could enjoy. Upstairs restaurant is always bustling and the food is top notch. A definite check out spot, if you’re in the area.
