This City cocktail bar and restaurant on Bishopsgate comes from Drake & Morgan – a group with bars and restaurants across London. Weeknights see its cavernous innards kept busy by the Square Mile after-work crowd.
That means it's mostly about the drinks. Cocktails range from mojitos, bloody marys and martinis to sierra madres (mezcal with triple sec, peach, star anise and lime) and a papaya and chia daiquiri, featuring bitters made from chia seeds. Beers by the bottle include Battersea IPA, Fat Yak Pale Ale and Einstök White Ale, from Iceland. Wines are evenly spread between the old and new world.
Bar food includes polenta crisps, sweet potato fries and burgers, but if you're staying for lunch or dinner then the offer extends to steaks, Thai chicken curry, linguine with clams, white wine and chilli, and a pea and lemon risotto with mascarpone. Keep an eye out for special offers too, including bottomless brunch.
