Boulebar Spitalfields brings quintessential French culture to the City

Boulebar Spitalfields is bringing a taste of quintessential French culture to the heart of London's City. As the experience economy continues to grow, with novelty bars like axe throwing, darts and cricket themed venues popping up, this establishment is the first to introduce the traditional French game of pétanque to the area. The bar features 10 pétanque courts, serving up authentic French cuisine and Parisian inspired cocktails in a unique setting situated beneath the Victorian cobbles of Spitalfields.

Pétanque is a game that requires little skill to learn but can be enjoyed by mixed groups of people from various walks of life. Its simplicity lies in throwing metal boules at a small wooden jack, and the game fosters a sense of camaraderie among players, regardless of their backgrounds. The menu at Boulebar Spitalfields showcases dishes such as the 'Tour De France' cheese and charcuterie, moules marinieres, steak frites and steak hache. Cocktails include a 'Solero for adults', a watermelon picante, and a Lillet Rose spritz.

In addition to the pétanque courts, the venue also offers food and drink packages tailored for larger groups, catering to corporate events, friends, and families. The introduction of pétanque to London's Square Mile has provided a fun and interactive way for people to socialize and enjoy drinks, with other gamified experiences like Dabbers Bingo club and the Fairgame arcade at St Paul's already making an impact in the city.
