Paying homage to the near-bankrupt American city in name alone, this long-established urban cocktail mecca near Seven Dials is part Prague metro in appearance (dig those retro reversed-out spots!) and part cool dive, although it's not for the claustrophobic.

Lovers and intimate friends whisper or cackle in alcoves, while sassy staff serve contemporary drinks from a long bar. Mixes range considerably in price and strength. The 16 standards show a fruity touch - the King Kong with four rums and four tropical juices, the Black Forest Mule with dark rum, black-cherry purée and framboise eau de vie - while the super-premium list includes an Earlham Street made with rum, absinthe and strawberries. Cusqueña, Viru and Asahi are among the beers, standard-priced goujons, skewers and focaccie among the bites.

Went there last Fri night in March 2012. It was a very nice cocktail bar if you are around the area (seven dials in Convent Garden).
They serve mostly cocktails in the menu and the few I had were awesome!!! Credit to the bartenders coz they actually talk to you and make you a cocktail base on your mood! This is very hard to find these days (especially near West End touristy area)

The venue is cool and music was chilled (not too loud), settings perfect place to go for a date have some privacy also for small group of friends to catch up.

Definitely will visit again just to avoid those overcrowded soulless chain cocktail bars in the area!
