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’.

A fresh and lively white Burgundy from the family-run Domaine Talmard, available to try by the glass or bottle at The Drop.
Specialising in Chardonnay, the Talmard family’s history of grape growing can be traced back to the 17th Century. For this Mâcon-Uchizy, the winemakers choose to pick the grapes early to retain acidity, and ferment using only stainless steel tanks so that the natural stone fruit and citrus characteristics shine through. 🍋
We’re open from midday on Saturday and Sunday with Bloody Marys at the ready. Start the weekend afternoons as you mean to go on. 🍅
Here’s our brilliant Bar Supervisor, Sidney, with his favourite wine on our list, the bright and fresh Harts Bros Albariño with flavours of white peach and a touch of sea air.
Waiting for the sun to come back, armed with guava and elderflower gin spritzes.
Always remember to check our specials board for new cocktail concoctions! 🍹
We feel that the fresh and zesty Kampala Grüner Veltliner is an ideal tipple to toast to the bank holiday weekend. 🥂
While the sun is peeking out from behind the clouds, we’d recommend a glass or two of the Prestige Rosé from Domaine Montrose in the Languedoc. ☀️
A stunning pale pink colour, this crisp rosé has aromas of fresh berries and a touch of citrus, with delicate floral notes of white blossom and honeysuckle.
