This is a two-bar venue, ground-floor and basement, in the spectacularly renovated and re-purposed Grade I listed St. Mark's church in Mayfair (see historic interest section) taken over by Mercato Metropolitano. The space is now split across four floors and joins the growing number of London "street-food and bars" outlets. In the basement there is also a Kraft mini 250 litre brew kit to brew speciality beers plus another beer bar. Production struggles to keep up with
demand and so they sell beers from other independents alongside their own.
On the ground floor there are two bars on the far-end altar space along with street-food outlets and a grocery store selling seasonal produce. The altar bar uses 1,000 plus coloured bricks handmade by the German Kraft team using broken glasses from their Elephant & Castle site.
In the gallery there are more food outlets and up on the rooftop there is an outside terrace. The food and drink comes from all over the world and in keeping with current trends sustainability is a hot topic here; single-use plastic and industrial or highly processed products all banned.
Mainstream beers are brought in from the Elephant & Castle site. There are three beers in the core range, Herbert Pale Ale, Heike Blonde (Helles Lager) and Edel Weiss (wheat beer), alongside seasonal and collaborations.
Historic Interest
St. Marks was built in the Greek Revival style in the 1820s and then later expanded and remodelled in a neo-Romanesque style in the late 1870s to accommodate a growing number of parishioners. It was formerly known as the ‘American Church’ given its proximity to the former US Embassy; President Eisenhower and Eleanor Roosevelt are known to have attended services there, as did King George VI for a society wedding. This was also Benjamin Britten's parish church when he was a student, and he composed pieces for the church. It was deconsecrated in 1974 as the local resident population dwindled and then found itself on the Heritage At Risk register for some decades. Grade I listed, Historic England reference 1225301.
