El Capo

BARCHICK SAYS

If you love tequila, love cocktails and love tapas then this place is gonna fit you like a glove. If you say you’re not into tequila then PAH, you’re just sipping on the bad stuff, and here at El Capo that ain’t an option. They have over 70 for you to experiment with until you find your match. They've also got a killer selection of tequila's smoky cousin, mezcal, so if you're yet to dip your toe into this agave adventure then now's the time, and here's the place. 

We’re talking good brands, fresh ingredients and some seriously impressive cocktails. If you have an early start, don’t tell the barmen, they don’t want to hear it. They’re all about the good times and they’ll be doing shots with you within minutes of you chatting to them. Leave your worries and inhibitions at the door.

Sure they have sugar skulls and various other Mexicany/Latin American bits and bobs donning the walls and the back bar, but this themed bar doesn’t come across as tacky – they’ve managed to make it seem effortlessly cool. Nice work. We’ll have a Tommy's, followed by a Mezcalita De Pina. It's got chilli, coriander, lime juice and agave to liven up that mezcal, yo. A couple of these and you won't care if you have work in the morning.
