The Cumberland

Hidden behind a fridge door inside the Cove Deli, The Cumberland is a 1920s speakeasy-style basement bar that feels like a secret only locals whisper about.

From the moment you slip past the bodega counter and descend the sandstone spiral stair, you’re transported into a space rich with character: marble benchtops, antique brass, reclaimed timber, leather banquettes, and vintage touches that nod to old-world glamour.

They stock over 250 whiskies, natural wines, craft beers, and a cocktail program divided into creative themes like Foraged & Found, Pre-Temperance Classics and regional “County Tipples.”

The food matches in craftsmanship: tapas-style small plates, raclette, oysters and charcuterie that partner perfectly with slow sips. It’s intimate, atmospheric, warm. Book now and impress your friends with a night that's both a little unusual and utterly enjoyable.
