Located in the historic vaults of The Royal Exchange, The Libertine is the new home of indulgence in the heart of the city.

Sitting on the site where the very first royal alcohol licence in Britain was granted, the space is steeped in hedonism and mischief. The bustle and opportunity around the old Royal Exchange, built in 1571, attracted merchant, heralds and rogues from across the city and beyond. Once the day’s work was done (and often before), the assembled traders would partake of boisterous ‘tippling’ in the vaults under the Exchange.

The Libertine is a modern revival of those free spirited times, with spaces for drinking, dining and unwinding well into the night, away from prudish prying eyes. Enjoy wholesome seasonal fare prepared with the finest quality produce from lunch until late.

Enjoy a hearty Sunday roast, enjoyed in beautiful surroundings with great company. The Sunday roast is prepared with meat sourced from high-welfare farms, locally sourced seasonal vegetables, fluffy Yorkshire puddings and crisp roast potatoes with lashings of rich gravy, every Sunday at The Libertine.

    Came here around the beginning of August with a friend for a very simple dinner.🎃 Thank you for the delicious dinner and the super fun conversation. The service was great, maybe just checking in a bit too much, haha. The food was delicious, especially the scallops. The steak seems to be cooked a bit more than I expected, I didn’t finish it. The ambiance was cozy, and my friend was smart enough to choose the quiet side with a big table, which I loved! :) Overall I recommend it for both business meals or dates.

    Managed to get a Sunday Roast last minute and was absolutely chuffed. I’d had Libertine down on my need-to-try list for ages. Definitely lived up to the hype. We got the sharing roast (I don’t recall the name). My own complaint was that I didn’t have enough room in my stomach to also get the carpaccio. Our server, Mo, was rad and super helpful. He was both knowledgeable and personable- definitely took the experience up a few notches! Oh, and did I mention it’s located underground in a vault? We’ll be back for sure! 😘✌️

    Beautiful little restaurant, our server MO was outstanding, a warm welcome and lots of recommendations. Scallops were a stand out and majority food was excellent the rump steak was a really bad cut and inedible but he took care of us so that we still left very happy.
