Free-flow sliders with your sundowners, anyone?While the Italian bakery has already made a name for itself with an array of expertly made traditional Italian mains, baked goods and gelato, it would be a mistake to overlook its aperitivo menu. Grab a cocktail or a glass of wine and enjoy the cafe’s decadent all-inclusive selection of Italian bite-sized snacks, from sandwiches to doughnuts.
Classed as the “true epitome of old-school American barbecue”, Smoke & Barrel has recently opened up their terrace for happy hour drinks and free-flow smoked meat sliders.
