What a little gem of a place! If it's warm enough, you can sit at tables outside the front on the street.
The staff are exceptionally lovely, they sell a variety of beautiful Spanish wines and snacks (delicious cheeses!) And they also often have live music in a little room at the back.
Inside is cosy and atmospheric, a perfect place to go on a date!
My friend brought me to El Velmut yesterday as part of our early Christmas celebration. It was incredibly busy and tight for space, at least at the start...
... which is why the staff should be celebrated. In a small popular London bar, it would be easy to just let squished footfall flow and be at it. However, the staff actively adapted. We had a lovely bar staff member give us a heads up on wait times and try to adapt the service to cut down lines waiting and sitting. The team were really welcoming despite having a lot to balance and quick.
That's not forgetting that the drinks and the snacks were really tasty all on their on.
El Vermut is the perfect first date or mate meet-up venue. It's off the beaten track for Nunhead and has music events and karaoke on some nights. I would advise plan ahead... which we didn't do too well, to work out the best time to get in. It has ample seating and a decor and vibe but definitely is popular with the hip crowd who know it.
Great bar. Lovely vibe. Excellent drinks and brilliant bar folk. We’ll be back!
Had my XXth birthday here - perfect venue and staff were so accommodating. Such a wonderful independent place to have local.
You guys are the best best experiences best vibes best brothers best drinks best laugh Fabian and marta are the most excellent peoples I’ve ever met since / bred can you hovis them
This is absolutely my favourite bar in south London! The staff are always so friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is lively, buzzy and fun. They play great music including live music on Sunday evenings.
I have scrolled back through older reviews from when the bar first opened three or four years ago, but I’m glad to see virtually every more recent review is 5 star. This is a true reflection of this amazing, friendly neighbourhood bar, which has got much livelier in recent years as word has spread. Can’t wait to go back soon, for my favourite Espresso Martini. 🥰
A lively, authentic vermouth bar that transports you back to Spain. Great selection of vermouths that is always being updated. Super friendly staff. My go-to spot to hang out with friends
Friendly and attentive staff, quick service too. Best place to come for a fun night and the live music is amazing! Brought my friends here for the first time and they’ve all been back multiple times since. Love the vibe of the place and hope it stays the same, favourite place in south london!
Lovely cosy bar with a great selection of drinks.
Lovely friendly staff and great cocktails. Thank you . I will be back
Maravilloso! Gem gem gem 💎 very authentic Spanish atmosphere 🤩
A total hidden treasure. Staff are always friendly, love their drinks menu and it's effortlessly cool.
El Vurmut is a bar with experience and attitude. The bartender's are kind, thoughtful, witty and funny; completely willing to commit to a funny joke.
The drinks are very diverse for just being wines/vermouths.
If you go here only for the atmosphere it'll be worth it but maybe trying beyond a negroni will be well worth it.
A fantastic spot specifically for vermouth and wine . It feels nice and unpretentious, a bar that could actually be found South of the Pyrenees. They do live music and also deli. Some people book seats or tables at the weekend, so you may want to do that for a big party as you don't have that many seats... or stand! My only feedback would be that the seats aren't super comfortable.
Lovely bar with fantastic interior. The wines on the menu were all good choices but there was not a massive range. Very friendly staff.
We love El Vermut! We hired the whole venue for a private party and Greta and her team looked after us amazingly. Everything was seamless and super easy, the whole team were so helpful and friendly - we couldn't recommend them more highly! Such a lovely venue and they absolutely helped in creating the perfect easy vibe for our celebration <3
I rarely write reviews, but I feel compelled to do so after enjoying a wonderful couple of hours sitting outside enjoying a range of vermouth, cheeses, olives & chorizo while visiting London last week. Service was superb and the quality of produce was excellent. This was the best example of it's kind that I've experienced in the UK. Well done.
A true gem in Nunhead vicinity, I have just moved to Peckham and could not have a warmer and friendly welcoming into the neighbourhood as this was the first bar I visited. ~The staff make you feel extremely welcomed and appreciated. Quick service with a relax and friendly atmosphere of joy presenting excellent quality of various imported products and recipes (Spanish mostly) . This place is not to avoid on their special Sunday Vermouth day. See for yourself it wont disappoint.
LOVE IT SO MUCH! Staff is super friendly, food is delicious, it's like travelling to Spain for one evening. It's actually our new post-cinema tradition! The house vermout is to die for, the food is very genuine food and the atmosphere very relaxed.
