Clerkenwell’s most likeable bar is this sporty gem. The soccer paraphernalia is authentic, retro-cool and mainly Latin (you’ll find a Zenit St Petersburg scarf amid the St Etienne and Lusitanian gear); bar staff, beers and bites give the impression you could be in Lisbon. A modest open kitchen (‘we don’t microwave or deep-fry’) dishes out tapas, sandwiches and charcuterie platters.

A vermouth on ice is the classy Kick choice, especially if you happen to be on one of the in-demand al fresco tables.
