Cool bars where to have a drink in London
Weekend or not, there is always time for a drink in London. It might be because there are a lot of choices, or just because Londoners have always an excuse to have a sip.
Finding a bar in the city is such an easy job. But what about finding a cool cocktail bar? This is not for everyone. Well, after my suggestion yes!

The Fitz’s bar
The Fitz’s bar is part of the Kimpton Fitzroy London. The impressive entrance of this posh hotel will give you an idea of what you will find inside: luxury decor mixed with a contemporary interior.
The atmosphere in the bar will make you feel like in the Great Gatsby.
Dark lights, a silk ceiling, and a big glitter ball should be enough to convince you to come… well dressed.
The cocktail menu took inspiration from famous people who lived in the Bloomsbury area.
From the list, you can order a Spy Princess or a Zola in Exhile. For a sweet taste don’t miss the Baby Babel.

The Oriole
Mentioned as one of the best bars in the world, The Oriole is well known in the city, even if its tucked entrance will make you believe the opposite.
Go downstairs, disconnect from the outside, and delight yourself.
The ambiance is a mix of tropical vibe and tribal decoration. You are the explorer here!
The menu will take you on a journey through the flavors of the Old World (Europe and Africa), the New World (the Americas), and The Orient (Asia and the Pacific area).

The Gibson
The Gibson is a hidden gem in Old Street.
The venue from the outside doesn’t look remarkable and that is why It is easy to miss. But stepping inside, the bar will reveal its unique style and intimate atmosphere.
The wide selection of cocktails is listed through a menu, organized by months. This means that ingredients will reflect the season of the month you want to visit.
I loved all the glasses they have and I found the presentation of each cocktail I tried impressive.
The attention to detail and innovative creations make this bar worth a visit, or more!

Cahoots
It might be challenging to find this underground bar around Kingly Court in Soho. But actually, that’s when the fun part starts!
Try to look for the sign “To the trains –>“
Make sure you have a booking because when you finally find the entrance you will be asked for it as everyone want to get in!
The disused underground station, used as a refuge during the world war, has been set up as a speakeasy bar.
From the moment you descend down the steps, you will feel transported back to the 1940s.
What’s cooler? The menu for cocktails and sharing plates are printed on an old newspaper.
Cahoots is serving classic cocktails, black market liquor, and post-war favorites. In particular, rum and gin-based drinks from old mugs, hip flasks, vintage milk bottles, and tins.
The cozy and lively atmosphere with authentic live music from the era, definitely completes the amazing experience at Cahoots.
