Bell & Viv

Bell & Viv is a stylish cocktail bar and kitchen tucked away on Pentonville Road, just a short stroll from King’s Cross Station. Inspired by the classic European café culture, the space blends modern elegance with a cosy, welcoming vibe. Think warm tones, intimate seating, and a hidden gem in the basement - the retro speakeasy-style Drinks Trolley cocktail parlour - perfect for private gatherings or late-night drinks.

Upstairs, there’s a private dining room for intimate celebrations, while the main bar hums with energy thanks to its laid-back yet polished design.

The concept revolves around bringing people together over expertly crafted cocktails and vibrant plates. Expect a European aperitivo spirit with a twist, plus a menu that nods to Mediterranean and Latin influences. Bell & Viv was founded by Valbona Sadiku and Jose Granja, the duo behind North London favourites Bread & Bean and The Spoke, and they’ve partnered with renowned mixologist Dré Masso to curate a cocktail list that’s as inventive as it is nostalgic - think clarified Grasshoppers and playful riffs on 70s classics.

It’s a go-to for brunch, after-work drinks, or weekend celebrations, with bottomless brunches and cocktail masterclasses adding to its charm.
