London bar operator Be At One has picked up its ninth site, taking on the leasehold of the City Limits Wine Bar in London’s Spitalfields.
The bar, which has been run by David Hughes and his family for the last 25 years, includes a ground floor champagne and wine bar plus a downstairs restaurant.
The deal, handled by property agents Christie & Co and Davis Coffer Lyons, marks the first City venture for Be At One, which has eight other sites across central, south and west London.
Richard Zivkovic, head of operations at Be At One, said: “We are really pleased to have secured this fantastic site in Spitalfields; we have been working on this deal for some time and are delighted to make our debut into the City.
“We will be perfectly placed to make the most of both passing trade and that of local and businesses residents.’
Stephen Jacobs, agent at Christie & Co, added: “Although this deal had previously stalled, we were delighted to be called upon to bring about a quick and successful conclusion, which will see Be At One continue the expansion of its impressive bar estate in the capital.”
