bastardo (by LARDO)

Bastardo (by LARDO) is a stylish wine bar in the heart of Hackney, specializing in natural, low-intervention wines and Italian snacks.

The collection of 70 rotating bottles includes orange wines, pet nats, and non-alcoholic options, with 20 available by the glass. The snack menu tempts with double gildas (anchovies and pickles), focaccia for dipping in canned fish, pizza fritti, and stracciatella on toast with anchovies.

The relaxing atmosphere, candles on the tables, terrace, and friendly staff make it the perfect place for a date, a meeting with friends, or an evening of wine without pretension.
