BAM Karaoke Box

You'll find some of the tastiest bar snacks around at BAM Karaoke Box. Spanning 10,000 square feet, it's Europe's largest venue of its kind, boasting 22 individually designed rooms and two cocktail bars. Its decor is eclectic, with leopard print seats, chandeliers and oil paintings brushed with bright pink lettering. Enjoy tasty bites to eat delivered straight, courtesy of consultant culinary director and renowned chef Sabrina Gidda, to your room. Think European cuisine and classic French dishes with a twist. 

Opium

The Opium Dim Sum & Cocktail parlour in Leicester Square is an elaborately chic London bar with a penchant for things to pick on, in this case delicious bar snacks in London. Escape the bustle of ground level Chinatown and escape to this hidden location for refreshing cocktails with a punch of pedigree behind them and you can probably guess what kind of bar snacks to expect, what you probably won't guess is just how tasty they are!

Americana London

Bottomless Sunday Roast and 3 other offers

Get ready to cosy up to some down-home Southern grub and drinks, served with a side of genuine Southern charm right in the heart of Haymarket at Americana. They've whipped up some signature cocktails that nod to the cocktail culture in the Deep South but with a twist of West End flair thrown in for good measure. Their ever-evolving wine list is a treasure trove of gems, featuring hard-to-find small-batch wines from revered producers like Orin Swift in Napa and Nathan Kendall in upstate New York.

The Clerkenwell Tavern

Lunch time special- Choose any 2 of our sandwiches, x1 sea salt fries & 1 house gherkin for £10pp

Nestled by a lively street market, The Clerkenwell Tavern has been a Farringdon mainstay since 1876 — and it's no wonder, thanks to its top-notch sandwiches served alongside a selection of natural & organic wines and craft beers. The Reuben is a real winner, boasting house-brined salt beef, Swiss cheese, pickles, zesty slaw, and Russian dressing.

Maltby Street Wine House

If you're feeling like chowing down on some of the best European-inspired grazing boards, Maltby Street Wine House is the venue for you. Located in the heart of London Bridge, this suave watering hole has a boatload of bites, from charcuterie boards to bruschetta and olives.

Cecilia's Wine House

When it comes to bar snacks in Covent Garden, Cecilia's Wine House is pulling out all the stops. Venture inside, where you'll be able to grab a cosy table (or, perhaps admire the epic booze offering), all while delving into top-notch quaffs, caviar and charcuterie platters.

Zapote

With a bar menu spanning everything from oxtail quesadilla to tacos and whitebait, Zapote is bringing your drinks up a gear. You'll be washing all this down with tequila and mezcal-laced serves, including a muddle of booze, mango, passionfruit tea and tonic.

28-50 Wine Bars - Various Sites

Slinging out smoked almonds, croquettes, and yummy charcuterie spreads, 28°-50° have some of the finest bar snacks around. With locations dotted all throughout London, stop inside for a few bites and a few glasses of vino.
