headed downstairs to this bar after our meal at flour & grape, also so others who were waiting for their table grabbing a drink during the wait. on the small side but most people don’t stay for too long. the fruity spritz is lovely and would recommend. also the menu had some fun options and great for those who love gin as they have a lot to offer for gin options.

Nice bar let down by an unfair booking policy. We booked 214 for New Years Eve - our plan was to go there after dinner at Flour & Grape (above the bar). Unfortunately Flour & Grape don't take bookings, so despite getting in the queue early it was a 3+ hour wait. This meant there was no way we would make our 10pm booking at 214, so we had to make alternative plans. We tried to call 214 to explain the situation and see if they would push our booking back, but they make it impossible to find a contact number. We were charged £50 for not making our booking even after writing an email to explain what had happened. Poor and short sighted customer service.

Really good selection of cocktails, including lots of originals. A cosy, cool atmosphere. Friendly staff. Doesn’t take bookings (or at least not for three people on a Friday) which could be a downside, but we managed to get a table after only a few minutes of standing and got served very quickly. Would recommend for gin lovers!

Vine aquí con mi novio para tomar unas copas antes de ir a cenar después de ver buenas críticas para una bebida informal, que es lo que buscábamos. ¡No podría haber estado más satisfecho! Pudimos encontrar taburetes junto al bar en medio de un ambiente bullicioso. Con poca luz y acogedor! Los cócteles eran muy agradables ya un precio realmente razonable para Londres y disfrutamos de la experiencia. Definitivamente lo recomiendo!

Fui com minha esposa à noite, cheguei cedo mas já estava cheio. É um pub, não restaurante. Como não tinha mesas disponíveis, sentamos no balcão. Cada um pediu um prato de massa. Estava divino, apesar de pequeno. O preço era proporcional ao tamanho do prato: era até barato. De sobremesa pedimos sorvete de tiramisu... fora de série. Apesar de pequeno, excelente. Recomendação: chegue cedo, enche logo.

It is a little confusing to find as 214 is actually a pasta restaurant it is next door in a bigger restaurant but down stairs!

We went here a few years ago and it was great. We then visited it last week and it was pretty average. Pretty nice gin and tonics, as you’d hope/expect. Cocktails were not very nice. And beware of the ‘Happy Hour’...despite being told that cocktails were £6.50 and g&ts; £5, when we’re ordered and went to pay we we’re advised that it was only certain cocktails, obviously not the ones we’d ordered, which was a bit dodgey, as there was no notation on which were included. Won’t be coming back here for a third time, sadly.

Paramos en Bermondsey 214 para tener un poco de una noche de degustación de gin, y dado que este bar tiene más de 100 multimillonarios y un equipo de camareros excepcionalmente bien informado que no complicar las cosas con más sobre la cima guarniciones variadas, sino más bien de los sabores de la Ginebra de una manera minimalista. Hicimos nuestro camino a través de varias muestras de G&T;'s ginebras que no he visto antes, y unos cuantos cócteles gin. La noche fue un éxito.

This gin bar with small plates is a great space. It's quiet enough that you can chat with the (very knowledgeable) barmen about gin and have them recommend cocktails that might suit your gin-tasting palate, and because it's tucked away (the entrance isn't exactly easy to spot), it feels private and cozy. The small plates are tasty, the gin flights are a great way to compare different flavors, and their in house tonic water (which you can buy as a tonic syrup) is an alternative to other tonics that I really liked. It's not nearly as sweet as some, and has a sort of earthy flavor that goes well with some of the more complex gins.

Recently visited this place and it wasn't what I expected. It's a nice little setup but it's very noisy when it's busy! It's quite small which is good but once it's full you can hardly hear your own conversation. The staff were excellent, they seem to be very knowledgeable and there is a great selection of drinks but for the prices I would've thought there would be table service. Approaching the bar and leaning over other people sitting there to order your drink is not pleasant, felt like being at a busy pub! The drinks were great though but it's not a place I'll be frequenting as there are many other places that offer the same type of drink list with table service and without the noise.

Situated below what I genuinely believe is the best Italian restaurant in London, this speakeasy style Gin bar is an absolute must try. It offers a wide range of incredible cocktails, an extensive range of gins from around the world and can boast the rare claim that it makes its own tonic water, BTW - Bermondsey Tonic Water. Designed to bring through the taste of the gin and using natural quinine unlike most of its mass produced counterparts you'll wonder how you ever enjoyed Gin without it. The decor in this bar is absolutely first class down to the last detail and the friendly staff add to a wonderful ambience perfect for couples, groups or individuals travelling through. If you are lucky enough to catch the owner in the bar, his passion is infectious and will have you expanding your Gin knowledge while tasting a variety of drinks long into the night. In a city where many bars of this quality are highly pretentious, 214 Bermondsey is a chilled, friendly venue worthy of seeking out no matter where you are in London.

Unlike so many 'cocktail bars' in London the staff actually know how to make great cocktails. A nice menu, which focuses on Gin.

You must try the Gin & Tonic Flight Tasters, really great drinks and great fun. If you like a drink with a kick, have the Rye Kwon Do. And spend an extra £20 to bring back a bottle of Tonic Syrup which is delicious. We are glad we travelled from North London, and we will revisit.

Turns out I've been drinking gin wrong my whole life. Also, I've been mixing my gin with the wrong tonic. That being said, I don't remember much of the night, ok it was early evening, maybe even late afternoon, where we met for their happy hour, and the very friendly Scottish waiter gave us a tasting and teaching session. Turns out my favourite new gin is portobello. I also got a death stare for saying my favourite gin cocktails are the fruity sugary ones. Only downside of this place is you'll never look at your Tanqueray the same way again. Nice for dates, quiet convos with friends and excellent gin coktails.

You could almost miss this, hidden underneath an Italian restaurant upstairs. Cosy little bar with great decor and knowledgeable bar staff.

214 is totally trendy and hipster, but that doesn't mean the cocktails aren't delicious. We were there earlier in the evening on a Saturday, but it was already pretty crowded, so we ended up sitting at the bar. They do gin flights, and while we didn't partake, you choose three gins, and then they give you a blind taste test, in which you try to pair the right gin with the right description. They give you the answers in an envelope. It looked fun, but my husband isn't much of a fan of straight booze, so... We each knocked back a couple of Hendrix Fixs, though, and they were delicious! The atmosphere was fun, and the staff was perfectly, if not overly, friendly.

Our visit was a belated birthday treat and I was not disappointed! The atmosphere was fun, lively and unpretentious, and the selection of gin and gin-based cocktails was amazing. We tried the gin tasting flights were you blind taste a selection of gins and attempt to match them to their descriptions; I was sadly hopeless but had great fun failing to identify any of our 6 gins. I would suggest that being provided with little jars of the main botanicals would help, or maybe make it too easy.... Great fun and highly recommended for any gin-lover.

Started with a classic G&T (I went for the Jensen's) served with the house Bermondsey Tonic Water, followed by cocktails (excellent selection), a gin flight (great fun guessing and I loved the 'reveal' from the sealed envelope - especially since we got it right!) and more cocktails. We were also able to order some bread and oil and a cheese platter to help soak up the gin. Loved this bar - the staff, the atmosphere, the gin and the cocktails were all brilliant.

We came to try some gin and left knowing a whole lot about just gin. The bartender Alex really made a great job tailing us into the gin world. We were interested about gin from the beginning, hence we went here, but we got so much good info and tried a lot of gin from the bartenders recommendations. They mix the tonic in house and it was great (can be bought as syrup at the bar). We had the chance to inhale and taste a lot before ordering to be able to choose the right gin.The basement premises and all of the bar staff helped for a cozy friendly feeling about the place. Will go there again and recommend it to all my friends interested in gin.

So we'd been doing the Bermondsey Beer Mile (more on that later) and decided that the girls would appreciate the opportunity to partake in a drink that wasn't a craft beer, so we wound up here - a very nice Gin Bar, just round the corner from the main high street in Bermondsey.Now, I'm not a gin fan, so this place was kinda wasted on me. That being said, it had a nice ambience, decent music, and the bartenders were that good balance of being nice & chatty without going too far down the "hyper smiley American customer service" route we seem to be going these days.The gin list is monumental, and the rest of or little group got very excited at virtually everything they saw. Being a non-gin drinker, I cheekily asked if I could get something else made up that wasn't on the list, which happily they were able to do. So I sat down with my Old Fashioned (one of the best I've ever tasted) and the rest with the variety of random gins and accompaniments. Verdict all round was the drinks were brilliant, and well priced to boot. Highly recommended!

Amazing gin cocktails and great atmosphere. This is a great place to go before or after dinner in Antico.

I love this place! The fact that it's hidden below a restaurant on Bermondsey St., but has an amazing gin selection and incredible staff makes it a winner! Plus the ambiance is so relaxed. The last time I was there with an out of town friend, we spent our entire evening at the bar with the fantastic and knowledgeable bartenders. They helped us select new gins based on our personal tastes and even let us try and smell different ones. We had such an amazing time and discovered some new favourites. I highly recommend this bar.

Visted this place twice now on Sundays, The atmosphere of this place is chilled and bartenders do know their Gins. This place has converted me to Gin as never knew there were so many. Favourite drink here is the Red Snapper along with the vast selection of Gins. Just wish this place was closer to home, but is worth a trip to London even for just visiting this place.

Cocktails were really great, bar staff all friendly and completely in their element, whilst shaking up amazing cocktails in this quirky basement bar.Quite hidden away, but that doesn't prevent it from getting REALLY busy!Would recommend reserving a table if you are a group of more than 4 though.As it gets very busy after 9 (we went on Friday night), but that's standard for good bars.

Planned to grab a cocktail (or two) here before migrating to the restaurant upstairs - Antico's. Fantastic experience. Great cocktails mixed and served up by knowledgeable and engaging staff. Enjoyed it so much we adjourned there again after dinner - and carried on the motion. OK it's not cheap - but you can't take it with you!

We were here for my husband's birthday, and had a great time. We were able to reserve an area for the 10 of us, and really enjoyed ourselves. We did the 'normal' gin tasting and sloe gin tasting - where you guess between three options, which was great fun. The gin cocktails were also excellent. Only downside was it was all downstairs, and we happened to be there on a beautiful day. Other than that, a real treat, and I would return.

Really lovely atmosphere and amazing gin cocktails. Staff are very knowledgable and friendly, and it's always busy. Great bar snacks - definitely worth investing in some if you plan on making an evening of it! And get there early to take advantage of happy hour so you can try even more. The gin flights are a great idea if you aren't sure where to start on the extensive menu...

Inattentive staff and poor service. Odd since it was almost empty when we arrived. Gin concept is fine and they seem to at least be competant at that.

Very good underground bar. Massive selection of drinks and very friendly barmen who really know there stuff about gin.

A pleasant bar beneath a lovely restaurant. Most noteworthy is the HUGE selection of gins with good tasting notes for many of them.In particular they do 'tasting flights' of three gins with tasting notes and a sealed envelope saying which is which. They have four of these flights: makes for a fun evening! Some nice bar snack food (charcuterie, etc) to accompany too. Nice carefully made cocktails and friendly staff too.

If you want an exceptional G&T come here. Don't be put off by the funny colour, that's their own brand of tonic water.

Este simpático "grasienta cafetería spoon" está enfrente del joven Vic, y es (era?) un excelente lugar para un buen desayuno barato tradicional, o recién hecho bacon y salchichas/huevo rollo/pab/sandwich. El propietario es un aficionado entusiasta del teatro y tiene muchos carteles en las paredes, y proporciona una buena conversación sobre asuntos de teatro. El café estaba teniendo una reforma muy buena en los últimos doce meses, pero hace unas semanas me di cuenta de que el lugar estaba todo en obras con ninguna indicación de por qué. Espero que está para más de reurbanización y pronto será volver abrir.

Always a popular, bustling pub in Camberwell. Great selection of beers and a super casual and cosy vibe

The premises are being refurbished, and a sign says that it is soon to re-open under another name. Hopefully it'll be as good as Gracelands was! I don't know if it'll be the same people running it...

There's a good selection of Italian ingredients you can buy (pasta, rice, sauces, biscuits etc) and the food they serve is also nice. A good place for a quick bite.
