VIBE
The décor includes lots of black leather and small, seemingly hidden, intimate tables. Soundtrack matches the cool Rat Pack vibe. Touted as one of the best bars for serious cocktails in London (and the world!), we found the drinks lovingly prepared by extremely capable mixologists.
WHAT WE WOULD WEAR
Relaxed jeans and top, but perhaps with a slight edge
GO HERE WITH
A small group of friends
CROWD
Hip Londoners
WHY WE LIKE IT
Great cocktails prepared by excellent mixologists. Menu is an educational experience, including deep explanations of each cocktail.
WHAT WE WOULD CHANGE
Very small space. Atmosphere is great, but not necessarily unique. Not sure we would cross town for this one, but worth doing if you are in the neighborhood.
GOOD TO KNOW
Wine list includes options from all over the world.
