The Libertine

Description

Set in the vast vaults beneath The Royal Exchange, The Libertine is the home of indulgence in the City. Just moments from Bank station, on the historic site of Britain’s first royal alcohol licence, the space is steeped in history, character, and a touch of mischief.

Serving seasonal dishes designed for sharing and modern City dining, the menu blends bold British and European flavours for everything from long lunches to late-night bites. The bar offers signature cocktails, an extensive wine list, and premium spirits - perfect for after-work drinks or evening celebrations.

And on Sundays, settle in for a proper Sunday Roast. Locally sourced meats, golden roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables and rich gravy, served with all the trimmings and best enjoyed in good company.

Join us to drink, dine, and unwind in the heart of the City.
