BARCHICK SAYS

This place always makes us feel like we've discovered someone else’s epic party, and they've straight up invited us in. Don’t be fooled by those white suits, the guys behind the bar are true rock stars. Half the crew have the bar’s logo tattooed on their arm, and they manage to pump out old school cocktails with perfection while cavorting with the six deep crowd.

They do all the classics well, along with their own signature drinks. Golden-Age cocktails are key here, so go vintage. Manhattan drinker? They make theirs with Rittenhouse Rye and it's epic. If you’re hungry there’s a great restaurant in the back too, with serious steak tartare. You don’t even have to lose your place at the bar – they serve the whole menu right there. The kitchen stays open until 3am on certain days too, our kind of midnight munchies.

It gets busy in here, rammed. Only bring a date if you’re looking to get uncomfortably cozy. Oh, and there’s a psychic in the entrance reading tarot cards, why not? Londoners keep an eye out, you might see some home grown talent behind the bar, it’s a common place for London bartenders to pop by and do a guest shift.
