short while ago, the team behind The Marylebone opened a new concept bar in Farringdon, Barsmith, which serves up infused cocktails and pizzas. Housed in a vibrant and relaxed all day bar setting we went along to try these fellas out.

Now being in Farringdon, Barsmith have managed to blur the lines when it comes to their clientele. Neighbouring corporate types and the designers of nearby Clerkenwell mingle together, like they have been friends for years…

With more than a few cocktails jumping out from the menu we suggest you take your time and try as many as possible…then revisit your favs. Hot Stuff Baby is guaranteed to spice things up, full of zest, ginger and chilli along with vodka and blended carrot juice…there’s also a carrot thrown in there too. What’s up doc? The signature ‘The Barsmith’ is a gin based ginger and honey meets lychee and lime combo topped up with ginger beer.

The pizza menu is decent with plenty of options from the safe to adventurous. You can even build your own and those who happen to be Gluten Free, well you’re looked after too. There’s other small plates and sharing dishes on offer too. A simple, drink and a bite could easily turn into a late one..but they are always the best nights right?
