Negroni Bar & Terrace
The Negroni Bar
The Negroni, a true classic among cocktails, traces its origins back to early 20th-century Italy. Legend has it that Count Camillo Negroni, seeking a bolder alternative to his usual Americano cocktail, requested the addition of gin, thus giving birth to the Negroni as we know it today. With its perfect balance of gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari, the Negroni embodies sophistication and refinement in every sip.
At Boisdale of Belgravia, led by our esteemed Bar Manager, Brian Calleja, we pay homage to this storied libation, offering an extensive selection of Negronis expertly crafted to suit every palate. From the traditional Negroni to innovative twists featuring premium spirits and artisanal ingredients, our Negroni Bar invites you to explore the endless possibilities of this timeless cocktail.
Situated in the style of a traditional pub bar, the Negroni Bar offers a warm and inviting atmosphere. Whether you're looking for lighter bar food or a full à la carte menu, our Negroni Bar has something to satisfy every craving.
