star: not when you have experienced the joys of The Fourth Wall…and The Blitz…but I wouldn't change a thing here!
I was not taken
by surprise at the interior of this cocktail bar having been to their pop up,
The Fourth Wall, however without pre-warning you may wonder if you just stepped
into Grandma’s living room. The walls are papered in yellow floral print. The
tables are covered covered in lace clothes. There is a fireplace. And a Mary
Poppins lamp. And there are very good cocktails.
Already a
huge fan from the events they run – The Blitz for one which I have been remiss
at writing up – I have tried some of their menu like ReBourne and Hollingsworth
Fizz. Their menu is a folding miracle with each opening revealing another page
but there are grouped in an easy-to-read manner and handily show the glass
style beside each one (in case you have a need to go elegant, or for a long
drink). There was no water on offer – fail – but the drinks which were a very
pink Ginger Daisy and a Cherry Sidecar were nicely balanced and well priced at
just £7.50 each. The bar staff are also friendly and really know their stuff.
In the
midst on no reservations London, you can reserve one of the 8 or so tables
round the edge of the room and you’d be advised to do this if arriving later
than 8pm or with a group; having been here late before, once the DJ hits the
decks you won’t want to leave either.
An absolute
gem in the centre of London
