FOOD+DRINK At last in Bromley! A new wine bar and live music venue opened in East Street Bromley on Friday 20th June 2014. Bar du Vin is situated in the newly semi-pedestrianised East Street, part of Bromley North Village where Bromley Council and the Mayor of London have spent £5.2m to create a French-themed café / continental dining area. All of the restaurants and bars have been encouraged to have fold-back shopfronts with outside dining areas on the pavement. Bar du Vin has now completed the conversion and fitting out of their new premises which features a large American-style Island Bar aimed at single persons who will feel comfortable dining alone. There are five raised bay seating consoles for parties of up to eight persons and a stage which doubles up as a VIP lounge. Live music will be featured every Thursday evening. Fridays and Saturdays will host top name DJs from 9pm until midnight. Entry to Bar du Vin is entirely free at all times. There is an extensive selection of good quality but inexpensive wines together with beers and spirits. The food menu, available at all times, comprises of pizzas, crepes and canapés, all prepared from gluten-free buckwheat. The pizzas have generous toppings including smoked salmon with rocket, Cajun chicken with prawns, Chinese duck with hoisin sauce, mixed wild mushrooms and many more.
