Baranis
Baranis is a chic London bar that transports you in an instant to sun-kissed Provence.
The bar, named after its wide range of Pastis and Absinthe drinks, is located in the atmospheric, old vaulted cellars of a former auction house on Chancery Lane where discreet booths and the UK’s only indoor pétanque court makes it the perfect place for a leisurely lunch or a playful evening.
With a glass of chilled rosé in hand, some Corsican cured meat and a game of pétanque on the go, city life seems a million miles away.
