Old Bengal Bar is a cocktail bar and dining venue at 16A New Street, set within the historic Old Bengal Warehouse near Liverpool Street Station. The eighteenth century building once stored goods for the East India Company and now provides a characterful setting of exposed brick, polished bar details and secluded courtyard space. Guests can stop for a drink before dinner nearby or settle in for a full evening of cocktails and bar food.
The cocktail list moves between bright sparkling drinks, long refreshing serves and more spirit led signatures. Combinations may bring together gin with elderflower, mint and cucumber, whisky with pomegranate and ginger, or mezcal with vermouth and coffee infused bitters. The Old Bengal Fashioned gives the classic format a house identity through carefully selected whisky, bitters and aromatic smoke.
Food begins with oysters, olives, nuts and triple cooked chips before moving into small plates. Sausage roll with mustard relish, crisp crab fritters, smoked salmon blinis, buttermilk fried chicken and steak tartare on crackers provide contrasting options for sharing. The New Street cheeseburger combines Aberdeen Angus beef, grilled onion, cheese, smoked bacon, house relish and chips for a more substantial meal.
Champagne, wine, draught and bottled beer, whisky, gin, vodka, rum, tequila and other spirits give the bar a broad drinks foundation beyond cocktails. Alcohol free mixed drinks and low alcohol choices make the selection more flexible. With music events, group bookings and courtyard tables alongside its regular bar service, Old Bengal Bar suits after work drinks, celebrations and late evenings in the City.
