Located in the historic vaults of The Royal Exchange, The Libertine is the new home of indulgence in the heart of the city.

Sitting on the site where the very first royal alcohol licence in Britain was granted, the space is steeped in hedonism and mischief. The bustle and opportunity around the old Royal Exchange, built in 1571, attracted merchant, heralds and rogues from across the city and beyond. Once the day’s work was done (and often before), the assembled traders would partake of boisterous ‘tippling’ in the vaults under the Exchange.

The Libertine is a modern revival of those free spirited times, with spaces for drinking, dining and unwinding well into the night, away from prudish prying eyes. Enjoy wholesome seasonal fare prepared with the finest quality produce from lunch until late.

Enjoy a hearty Sunday roast, enjoyed in beautiful surroundings with great company. The Sunday roast is prepared with meat sourced from high-welfare farms, locally sourced seasonal vegetables, fluffy Yorkshire puddings and crisp roast potatoes with lashings of rich gravy, every Sunday at The Libertine.

    Beautiful little restaurant, our server MO was outstanding, a warm welcome and lots of recommendations. Scallops were a stand out and majority food was excellent the rump steak was a really bad cut and inedible but he took care of us so that we still left very happy.

    Antonio is truly exceptional—open, kind, and incredibly positive. The food was outstanding, and Antonio took the time to share everything about the dishes and the story behind the place. His passion and warmth made the experience unforgettable. I would return here just for him and the incredible food. Highly recommended!

    We stumbled upon the place while walking by, and a slightly ajar door piqued my interest. The ambiance was undeniably speakeasy-esque. Stepping inside, we were greeted by a festive decor and a staircase leading to the restaurant/speakeasy bar. Time constraints limited us to a single drink, but the staff and atmosphere were so inviting that we wished we could linger all day. Highly recommended, and I can't wait to return on my next London trip.
