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.
