Astro Cocktail Bar is a drinks and tapas venue at 4 Exmouth Market in Clerkenwell. The intimate bar opens from late afternoon into the evening and places skilled cocktail making at the centre of its experience. Friendly table service, pavement seating and late opening later in the week make it a lively choice for a drink, a selection of sharing plates or a longer celebration.
The food menu draws broadly on international bar snacks. Chicken wings, chicken skewers, crisp chicken pieces, spring rolls, nachos, garlic bread and quesadillas are designed to share easily beside drinks. Prawn and vegetable gyoza, bruschetta and dynamite cauliflower add contrasting flavours, with several vegetarian and vegan choices available across the savoury selection.
Indian influences give the menu a more distinctive identity. Butter chicken can arrive in small glasses with mini garlic naan, while lamb seekh kebab combines minced meat with pepper, coriander and onion. Vegetable samosas and grilled aubergine broaden that strand of the menu, and a beef burger offers a more substantial option when snacks alone are not enough.
Cocktails range from polished classics to colourful house creations tailored to individual preferences. A deep back bar supports whisky, gin, rum, tequila and other spirits, with wine, beer and alcohol free drinks also available. Events and group bookings allow the team to shape drinks and food for celebrations, while the regular menu keeps Astro approachable for spontaneous evenings on Exmouth Market.
