Barbers and brews, Six Nations and shuffleboard, or bubbles and brows – welcome to Greenwood, the brand new multifaceted venue from ETM Group in London’s hottest new food quarter – Nova Food.
Featuring beers by the tankful, fantastic food, a premium sports lounge and in-house grooming courtesy of Sharps Barber and Shop and blinkbrowbar, Greenwood draws inspiration from 1970’s college common rooms and libraries. The glass-fronted space, designed by Russell Sage Studio, is filled with an eclectic mix of furniture and textiles where the unexpected can always be expected.
Drinking & Dining
Open all day from 8am, seven days a week and directly opposite Victoria station, Greenwood offers a one-stop-shop for busy professionals, commuters and leisure seekers alike. The versatile all-day menu, bursting with British produce, lends itself equally well to morning coffee stops, delicious breakfasts, business lunches, pre-theatre bites, and casual dining. While the huge, lively central bar provides the perfect hub for post-work meet-ups and making the most of the weekend.
Greenwood’s large clay oven dispenses thin and crispy stone-baked pizzas with a delicious array of toppings as well as heartier fish and meat dishes. Small plates, including seabass tostada with avocado or creamy salsify and artichoke croquettes, sit alongside perfectly-cooked steaks and salad jars while decadent desserts come in the form of fried apple pie with cinnamon ice cream and Oreo cheesecake with blondie crumb.
Greenwood’s island bar is the focal point of the ground floor, lying underneath four overhanging copper beer tanks filled with the best brews from West London craft brewery, Long Arm Brewing Co. and rotating guest ales. Draught beer and craft kegs also include an outstanding Kolsch-style lager from Thornbridge, a West Coast IPA from Siren Craft Brew Co and Pale Ale from Wild Beer Co.
Lines of libations, bespoke spirits and worldly wines invite discerning drinkers to explore and experiment. Refresh with a signature G&T, selecting your favourite gin from more than 60 different options including unusual sights like gin rested in Cabernet Sauvignon barrels by Distillery 209 in San Francisco. Boutique whiskies boast rare bottles of Whistle Pig Boss Hog (of which only 3000 bottles were produced) and some of the last remaining age statement Japanese whiskies. Cocktails cannot be ignored either with creations including the Champagne Crusta (Tanqueray gin, Cointreau, jasmine tea, Peychaud’s bitters and Champagne) and Smoked Espresso Martini (Ketel One vodka, Shadow Wolf smoked stout, cinnamon syrup and espresso).
Quench a thirst perched atop one of the stylish leather bar stools or slide into a bar-side booth and make a night of it firmly ensconced in Greenwood’s electric atmosphere. Over 100 metres of books, curiosities and artefacts line the walls against a collaged backdrop of retro postcards, educational posters, flying flamingos and zebra heads. Rosewood timber contrasts with copper pipework, hand-crafted chandeliers and verdant overhead planters. As the mercury rises, the 80-cover outdoor terrace will come into its own and create the perfect people-watching hotspot.
