Description

Beneath Bishopsgate lies WM Barker & Co. an underground niche cocktail and craft beer bar, still quite the secret in the City this bar is soon becoming a well known haunt for both "suited city slickers and the creative hipster crowd".

Consulted by creative cocktail councillors from Salts Of The Earth, the wonders that brought you Shrub and Shutter in Brixton. The cocktails are based around shrub – the of-the-moment twist to traditional drinks featuring specially-created syrups which balance sweet and sour. Using unique and unusual ingredients the cocktail menus change seasonally and are delivered by the excellent team of mixologists. There is also a fine selection of craft beers both bottled and draught locally sourced around London and from around the world; along with a variety of premium whiskies, gins, rums and vodkas.

Feeling hungry? Enjoy one of the gourmet toasties our favourite is the Brinner Toastie made with scrambled egg, roasted tomato chutney, pressed spinach, cumberland sausage, bacon and black bomber cheddar. Or share a British Cheese and Charcuterie board making it up from the items of your choosing, finished with a balsamic vinaigrette.  

Take a seat in one of the mismatched armchairs or perch on a bar stool while you chat to the friendly bar tenders sure to keep you entertained all night. With a late license until 3am Thursday, Friday and Saturday this is the perfect spot to meet with friends, bring that special date or for parties and events.

Anyone who has ever passed Liverpool Street station on Bishopsgate knows the infamous Dirty Dicks, but very few people know the secret that lies beneath. Named after Will Barker - wine and brandy merchant and former owner of the Old Jerusalem pub...

Drinks and atmosphere were good but service was beyond awful; had to continually chase for drinks and food took 1.5 hours to arrive! visited WM Barker & Co on 17 May 2017

Profuse apologies, this is certainly not how we roll here at WM Barker. Unfortunately, our kitchen were very busy during your time wit us. Though this is no excuse and words have been exchanged, this should never happen again, and we are very sorry. We do hope you'll come back and give us another try! WM Barker & Co

This would have been 5 stars if it wasn't for your waitress. Bar tenders were awesome, environment amazing, cocktails brilliant! All the service was great apart from one lady. She didn't listen to a word we said, she was terribly slow, her customer service was awful. We ended up stopping table service and ordering from the bar. She didn't listen to anything that we wanted!!! so frustrating. When i said we would just order from the bar she wanted an explanation in front of my guests! At one point she even showed us how difficult it was to take a drinks order on a tablet!!!!! Such a shame as we will not be returning due to her. I don't understand how someone who wants to work in customer service can be so bad at dealing with customers! Especially when the rest of the team are amazing!!! visited WM Barker & Co on 06 May 2017

Thank you for your feedback, which we take very seriously. We have spoken to the member of staff in question and she has asked us to pass on her personal apologies and hopes you will forgive the difficulties that the language barrier can sometimes cause. However, the rest of the team were so pleased to hear your compliments for them! We do hope you pop back soon. WM Barker & Co.

Pleasant venue and product but service was questionable with no apparent manager the female member of staff spent a significant amount of time kissing and cuddling her boyfriend so we had to wait a while to be served. The male barman was significantly better though and when he was able picked up the slack. Joe visited WM Barker & Co on 03 May 2017

Reserved an area in advanced - this was easy, reasonable and staff were organised!! On arrival pre reserved area was lovely and pre ordered drinks were readily available. Service from staff on the evening was excellent and the cocktails were lovely. Would thoroughly recommend!! Will definitely go back! Thank you WM Barker & Co - you made a celebration enjoyable!!!!

Dont be fooled by the star rating, this is a no star review! Despite booking well in advance, and confirming the booking the day before, the venue was nothing short of disappointing. We were the only people in the bar, yet it took 30 minutes for us to receive drinks ordered on arrival - apparently they were short staffed. However, during this time others arrived at the bar and ordered drinks, and were served them first. Even more disappointing is that the drinks really were not worth the wait. We had booked for 2 hours, but left after 45 minutes - most of which time we had been waiting for our drinks. The staff did try to make amends by 'giving' us food and a bottle of prosecco, but I had to pay for these before I left so it wasn't really that nice of them. The one star review is too high, I wouldn't go there again if they paid me. After we left we went to sushisamba, which was excellent especially as we were not expected. I would recommend heading straight there instead! visited WM Barker & Co on 25 Mar 2017

I was really happy with my time at the bar, however I did reserve a space for 60'people and this did not feel accommodated for, I only was provided with two small tables and my guests were rather squished and due to the influx of people who came to the bar it took a while to be served at the bar. The music was a little louder than expected but never less good! I did order some food (Bristol toasties but never received these) and I was at the bar until 2.45. I did receive my deposit back which was brilliant! Just a shame that I was not promised the space for 60 people I was expecting! visited WM Barker & Co on 13 Jan 2017

Even though it was new year eve, they ran out of ingredients really early in the night so we couldn't have the cocktails we wanted. The place closed 1hr earlier than we had been told. Apart from that, nice place and very nice cocktails. visited WM Barker & Co on 31 Dec 2016

Hey, we're sorry that you were limited in cocktail selection on your night, New Year's Eve is always quite a busy one for us. But maybe this is just fate giving you an excuse to come back and try even more of our cocktail creations... WM Baker & Co

This bar had nice atmosphere. We were very disappointed that All drinks purchased at the bar had 12.5% service charge included, even beers. The bartender also didn't tell us that he had included the charge until we questioned him about why the drinks were more expensive than quoted on the menu. We would have preferred to leave a tip once we had finished ordering all our drinks rather than be charged 12.5% for each transaction even when we did not get table service, we were also using international cards which charge us more if we spend more. When we said something the bartender did not seem to understand why we found the fact that we were being charged a 12.5% service charge to order drinks at the bar strange. I would not return as the service was not great and it ends up being too expensive and frustrating. It put a sour note on my finances Birthday. visited WM Barker & Co on 28 Dec 2016

Love this gem of a bar. So close to the hustle and bustle of Liverpool Street but not a city suit in sight. Great chilled out vibe, fun cocktails and cosy interior. Give it a try but don't tell too many people, otherwise they'll all want to come! visited WM Barker & Co on 14 Dec 2016

We had a really fun evening at W M Barker, celebrating our engagement. A few hitches - another couple had been given a reserved table in our area which overlapped with the tome that we had asked to arrive and set up. It was quickly dealt with, but I felt sorry for the couple who had to move. The food was tasty but came out an hour late, and when we tried to pay for it we were ignored at the bar several times. We also weren't warned that our reserved area included the trapdoor to the beer cellar, which meant that we had to move around (and in some cases, get stuck behind the open trapdoor) numerous times - it would have been good to know this on booking as it was somewhat inconvenient. However, the cocktails were great and we enjoyed our evening a lot!

Brilliant bar, lovely service, so close to Liverpool street and the cocktails (old fashioned, Victoria Beckham. Jason Statham and a few others) were really good. Presented creatively.

Lovely place! The atmosphere and decor was perfect for some relaxed drinks to celebrate my birthday. At around 10pm it gets much louder making it harder to have a conversation but I loved the music - a mix of hip hop and r'n'b. And the drinks were delicious and very reasonably priced. It was however a little empty - but I'm sure that will change as people begin to find out about this little gem! anadarajah visited WM Barker & Co on 20 May 2016
