Alberrys Wine Bar, Canterbury

Alberrys Wine Bar has been a beloved fixture for over 30 years, cherished by both locals and travellers alike. Stepping inside, you’ll discover a warm, layered venue spanning two levels: the main bar upstairs and a cosy, vaulted cellar below. The cellar offers a rustic charm, with stone walls and occasional live music that transforms the space into a vibrant backdrop for late-night chats and dancing.

Alberrys excels in its extensive drink selection. Wine lovers can explore a thoughtfully curated list, while spirit enthusiasts will be thrilled by Kent’s broadest range of rums. The cocktail menu is equally adventurous, with drinks crafted to suit every palate, and the bartenders are always ready to recommend a favourite. The Cellar Bar, available for private hire, also hosts themed parties, DJ sets, and cocktail-making classes, making it a hub for lively events and special celebrations.

Pair your drinks with delicious bites from “The Kitchen”, where the menu features locally-inspired sharing boards like Kent cheese and charcuterie, ocean delights, and veggie options. It's the ideal setup for a relaxed evening of sampling regional flavours alongside your drink of choice. Visitors often praise the food as “lovely, generous portions” and the cocktails as “something for everyone”.

Whether you’re winding down after exploring Canterbury’s medieval cobbled streets or gearing up for a festive evening, Alberrys offers a perfect blend of historic charm, global drinks, local flair, and friendly enthusiasm. It’s a must-visit for tourists seeking to savour the spirit of Canterbury-literally and figuratively.
