It's four years since the first Cocktail Trading Co was opened by owner-bartenders Andy Mil, Olly Brading and Elliot Ball - who can forget the cocktail with actual noodles as garnish and the drink served in a snow globe? Now they've opened the door to their second sh*t-hot venue. Located bang between sophisticated Fitzrovia and glitzy-gritty Soho, it's all about the gangster noir vibes.

Head down the stairs into a speakeasy lit by the glow of red neon and candlelight. It's the kinda place you expect to see a femme fatale propping up the bar, looking for a new victim. When it comes to the drinks, they're just as theatrical as those served up at Cocktail Trading Co, just a little more on the refined side. They have Death in The Afternoon on tap made with Pernod Absinthe, agave-ginger sherbet and Moët Champagne. Boom. Or get down with the Diablo II, a devilish combo of Patron Silver, salted galangal, cassis and rooibos beer. You don't have to be a detective to work out this place is hot property.
