Bar Sumi

Overview

"Did you look at the menu on the way over here?". It's a question that's getting more and more common on a night out these days. While it can easily give aspiring diners a taste of what to expect before the waitstaff stands there expectantly, notepad impatiently at the ready, it won't work at Bar Sumi. Why? Well, there's no menu to read at all.

Opened by Maybe Sammy alum Wen Wang in a hidden underground space inside the Regent Place complex, Bar Sumi ditches the menu for something more personal. Dining here means sitting down and speaking to your bartender to give them some inspiration. Reservations get priority over walk-ins and the space seats just over 20 people, to keep things intimate.

All the classics are on offer, but the bar dabbles in specialties blended with tea. Not happy with the drinks your bartender landed on? You're well within your rights to ask for something else from someone else. Beyond the cocktails, Bar Sumi has done away with a wine list in favour of sake. But with a team this talented, you're bound to find something that agrees with you.
