Contessa’s Bar offers a versatile setting, ideal for both informal gatherings and quieter moments. A popular choice for a small wake or event (up to 30 guests) or as a refined space for casual meetings or remote working, the bar provides a relaxed atmosphere. As a public area, there’s no need to book in advance—just settle in, enjoy our selection of food and drinks, and make the most of the comfortable surroundings.

Whether you’re planning a leisurely lunch, a mid-afternoon snack, or a relaxed dinner, our All Day Dining Menu is crafted to accommodate your every craving.

Our All Day Dining Menu features a selection of dishes that celebrate fresh, locally sourced ingredients, offering everything from hearty classics to lighter bites. Ideal for impromptu visits or planned gatherings, the menu pairs perfectly with our extensive drink offerings, from speciality cocktails to freshly brewed coffees.

Classic craftsmanship meets creative flair in our cocktail and mocktail menu. From timeless favourites like the Negroni or Espresso Martini to inventive, seasonal mixes, each drink is handcrafted using premium spirits, fresh ingredients, and house infusions. Our non-alcoholic mocktails are just as thoughtfully made, and perfect for guests who prefer a lighter option without compromising on taste.
