Bottles & Battles is a unique space within the heart in the South of Borough. Located in a little pocket of Italy known as Mercato Metropolitano, Bottles & Battles is a clandestine and cosy drinking den serving an ever-changing selection of wines by the glass, quality wines by the bottle, as well as delicious traditional Italian small plates.

Perfectly situated in Mercato Metropolitano, a marketplace which features the most exceptional Italian artisanal talent, as well as street food from around the world, Bottles & Battles, provides a calming refuge from the hubbub of the various stalls.
