  • Idlewild

     
  • This artistically designed joint attracts a well-turned-out crowd looking for a bit more of a night out than most of the other local drinking holes can provide. There's quite a buzz here at weekends, particularly in the upstairs cocktail lounge. Inspired by the aristocratic high fashions of the 1920s, with an injection of contemporary cool and original touches, such as the collection of framed butterflies and moths on the staircase wall, this restaurant-pub is stylish without being poncey. There's a good wine list, a standard selection of well-prepared cocktails and a few bottled and draught beers.

    This is such an amazing place to chill out with friends. It was so warm and welcoming, we just didn't leave! I have been in London for two years now and wouldn't necessarily recommend the younger crowd but for young professionals who want that stylish streak in the social time - this is definitely the place for it! They do food also but we didn't eat, it looked very good though - maybe next weekend!
