North Street No.7 · Wine & gin bar near the Barbican – Plymouth’s best-kept wine list.

57 wines from 15 countries, every one poured by the glass. A gin shelf that keeps on growing, barrel-aged Negronis, live music most weeks and a proper warm welcome, two minutes’ stroll from Sutton Harbour.

About North Street No.7: A little slice of Europe, up a little old street.

North Street No.7 is an independent, family-run bar tucked away in Bretonside. It’s close enough to stroll over from the Barbican, and far enough off the beaten track to feel like a discovery.

Long-time locals will remember us as Cafe Kiss. We kept the warm welcome and filled the shelves: a wine list that roams from Cornwall to the Bekaa Valley, more gins than we’d like to admit, and cocktails we’re quietly obsessive about. Our Negroni rests in an oak barrel right here at the bar.

On warm evenings the big doors slide open, the sun-trap corner fills up and music videos roll on the projectors. The volume stays where you can still talk. Dogs are welcome, and regulars’ usuals are remembered.

Every wine by the glass

Fancy a Barolo without committing to the bottle? Go on. All 57 come as a 175ml or 250ml pour, and the sparkling comes by the 125.

A serious gin habit

Our gin shelf is the stuff of local legend. Tell us what you usually drink and we’ll pour you something you haven’t tried.

Music in the walls

Live sets, open mic, jam nights and music videos on the big projectors. Never so loud you can’t hear your friends.

Cocktails & gin: Shaken, stirred, or aged in oak.

A short list of classics we’ve taken the time to get right. Plenty of people tell us these are the best espresso martinis and Negronis in town.

House signature

Barrel-Aged Negroni

Tanqueray London Dry, Campari and Cocchi Vermouth di Torino, rested in an oak barrel here at North Street until it’s silky, rounded and dangerously easy to drink.

£10per glass

Gin, lots of it

A huge selection with tonics to match. Tell us what you like and let us pick.

Draught beer & cider

Cold and on tap, plus alcohol-free beer for designated drivers and early starters.

Shots for the brave

Any four from the shelf for £12, or go top-shelf with four Patrón for £20.

North Street coffee

Flat whites, dirty chai, freddo espresso and fruit-swirled matcha lattes.
