Enter Boutiq’ safe in the knowledge that these dudes know their sh*t. Their passion for fantastic cocktails, good banter and a little drink history is what got this ‘neo-speakeasy’ listed in both the Sunday Times and Drink International’s 50 Best Bars in the World. Nice.

All manner of vintage classic cocktails, twists and stunning signature drinks are on offer here. Like BarChick you might be tempted to try some of the huge selection of fine spirits neat - good times guaranteed. Dabble in a bit of both, and settle on your barstool or in the cosy lounge and watch these hot geniuses in action. Local DJ heroes play chilled and often themed music (New Orleans Week or Black Tot Day, anyone?), and there’s a basement bar for bigger parties and bigger tunes.

Everyone behind the bar speaks good English (thank god), and your average guest is that sexy international you had hoped to meet on your city break - result. Give them a call and book a table, and then give your airline a call and say you might be staying a little longer…we sure did.
