Bar Ampere

  • Bar
  • Casual dining

Bar Ampere serves electrifying cocktails, wine, beer and interesting and rare drinks such as absinthe.

The bar sits in an operational electrical sub-station, with exposed power cords and bare bulbs dangling above. The central bar enjoys ambient light from a wall constructed from wine bottles. The styling is ‘art deco futurism’, with a Swamp room for intimate chats.

If you're looking for some late-night snacks, food is available until 3am.
