A Spanish wine and cocktail bar, steeped in family history
Bar Daskal is a Spanish wine and cocktail bar located in London Bridge’s Borough Yards. The bar is named after seafaring artist and grandfather of owners Sam, Eddie and James Hart, Vladimir Daskaloff, who worked under the name ‘Daskal’.
His home and studio in Estellencs, Mallorca, where the Hart brothers visited each year as they grew up and still visit with their own kin to this day, have inspired an abiding love of Spain, its produce and culture. The drinks menu offers exclusively Spanish wine and sherry, and a short list of cocktails made with Spanish spirits. To eat, there are cold tapas and snacks, from expertly sourced Spanish jamon and cheeses, to classic tortilla wedges with alioli, gildas and a ‘coca of the day’.

Here’s a perfect serve from our brilliant Bar Manager, Sergio.
When we asked Yumara to recommend a wine, she chose the Koehler Ruprecht Riesling. The sweetest dry wine on our list, this organic white is bursting with baked apple and passion fruit, balanced out nicely by mineral notes.
It’s getting chilly out there, and autumn feels like the right time for light but bold red wines. A firm favourite is this velvety Pinot Noir from Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand, one of the 12 great wine capitals of the world.
Full of ripe plum and black cherry flavours, and just a touch of (not pumpkin) spice, the Trinity Hill is available to try by the glass or bottle.
Over the festive period, The Drop will be available for exclusive hire, accommodating up to 60 people for a standing reception under the twinkling lights. A wonderful spot for a merry work drinks, or gathering of family and friends. ✨
