Peep through the keyhole of this epic basement bar in The City and you'll find a hot spot for your clandestine rendezvous and killer drinks. Hidden away beneath new hotel Vintry & Mercer is Do Not Disturb. Escape the warren streets that line the Thames for this super suave speakeasy channeling 1920s New York. You'll know you're in the right place once you've found the 5ft high illuminated keyhole at the bottom of a dark, unmarked staircase. Oh and the Do Not Disturb sign above the door. Ignore that and head on in. These guys want to be disturbed. 

Once you're in on the secret, you'll find a den of old-school Manhattan glamour. Burgundy banquettes, leather bar stools, and moodily-hued walls. Vintage pictures of Follies chorus girls are beautifully encrusted with Swarovski beads, bringing the bling. Wanna impress a date? Yeh, this place will do that. Get cosy in one of the dark corners and check out the menu. It's a mix of barrel-aged sazeracs and negronis and sherry-spiked martinis served in stemless glasses balanced on ice.

There’s a short but fantastic bar menu with a fusion of Asian and Mexican flavours; check out the truffled polenta fries; the crispy but tender buttermilk fried chicken with lime & jalapeño;  and the messy beef sliders. After something sweet? Give in to the peanut-butter & jelly ice cream sandwich. Retro US of A all the way.
