The Refinery, Bankside

Description

Winter in London doesn’t have to be all grey skies & chilly pavements. Step into The 'Tini Terrace at The Refinery Bankside, a riverside hideaway where cosy meets glamorous. Heated huts, soft lighting & chic corners make it the perfect place to escape the city for a little while. Just moments from Borough Market, it’s the ideal spot for you &  the girls to enjoy a night out that feels effortlessly special.

And the stars of the show? Mini ‘Tinis. Perfectly petite, these mini martinis pack all the flavour of a full-sized cocktail, with a cheeky wink in every sip. Choose from the timeless Classic Martini, the playful Lychee Martini, the indulgent Ferrero Rocher, or the sparkling French Goose 75. Pair them with a few delicious nibbles & a simple night out becomes a winter ritual full of laughter, clinking glasses & moments to remember.

Inside, you’ll find industrial sophistication softened by colourful textures and warm lighting, the ideal backdrop for everything from intimate dinners to lively parties. The open-plan kitchen brings a sense of theatre, while quieter corners offer space for relaxed lunches or meetings.

From brunches to evening soirées, The Refinery Bankside is your winter retreat in the city.
