London's first Prosecco bar set to open

The Prosecco House will open its doors to the public in February 2018 and will offer a choice of more than 20 Proseccos, including Prosecco DOCG.

Bar owner Kristina Issa is working directly with family-owned vineyards in Veneto and will be exclusively stocking sparkling wines from five vineyards not available anywhere else in London. The wineries are: Marchiori, Rivalta, Cirotto, TASI Bio and Andreola.

Guests will be able to enjoy glasses of Prosecco starting at £7.50 and bottles starting from £30. Bottles will be available as standard, magnums, and go up to jeroboams.

There will also be a small selection of Prosecco cocktails, including Aperol Spritz, Bellini and Prosecco House signature cocktails.

The focal point of the room will be the large wine fridge that will span the whole side of the room. Guests will also be able to buy bottles to take home with them, and bottles will also be available for delivery via UberEats and Deliveroo.

A small selection of Italian bar snacks, including salami Lovison, prosciutto, gorgonzola and ricotta with sundried tomatoes and Italian pickled artichoke, will be served. 

Issa said: “I love Prosecco but could never find a glass of the same quality here in London compared with Italy.

“There is a gap in the market for a high-quality bar serving the finest Prosecco that is not in a hotel or a cocktail bar. I am working closely with producers to ensure guests receive the finest Prosecco that is so readily available in Veneto.”

Prosecco House will sit within Berkeley Homes' One Tower Bridge, a development of high-specification apartments, five-star residents’ facilities, restaurants and commercial space, including the Bridge Theatre.
