ABOUT

Bar Termini is a tiny bar that takes its name from the main train station in Rome and its influence from 1950's Italian bar culture.

Termini is the mastermind of Tony Conigliaro, legend in the London cocktail scene.

A bar that takes its coffee seriously (its staff actually go to coffee school) and its cocktails even more seriously with strong serves the name of the game, the House Negroni being its speciality. 

If you want to find a table then I would recommend getting in early, there aren't many, I think I may have only counted six. Then even when seated you may find yourself so close to your neighbour that it may feel that you are at their table with them, however this is not a bad thing, it just adds to that whole friendly casual intimacy.

DRINKS

The cocktail menu is small but tidy, most should find something here that they like, with drinks starting from £12

Here you can drink Italian influenced serves like the Spritz Termini, featuring, Beefeater Gin, Rhubarb Cordial, Aperol and Prosecco.

Or maybe sample the Elegante, Sicilian Granita, Sipsmith Vodka, Lemon Sorbet and Blossom Aroma

However I didn't visit for the cocktails I had been told that their range of House Negroni were to die for.

Priced at £7, Termini produce five House Negroni, Classico, Superiore, Rosato, Robusto and Arancia Verde.

The cocktails are pre batched and served cold from bottles into chilled stem glasses, there are no rocks glasses to be seen here.

If you are a Negroni lover I can vouch that this little bar is one not to be missed.

Full bottles of Negroni can actually be purchased, each adorned with gorgeous artwork reminiscent of days past, with labels depicting nostalgic Italian landscape scenes. Tying into that 1950's station theme, each conveys a stage of a trains journey through Italy, from snow covered mountains in the north to the rocky cliffs of the south coast.

FOOD

As well as a selection of delicious pastries to help that strong coffee go down there is a small food menu.

Italian fare is on offer, with the likes of Burrata, Tomato, Pane Carasau, Italian cheese and charcuterie.

If you happen to find yourself walking past this little bar, don't think twice, order yourself a drink and sample the ambience, you wont regret it.
