Ferri's

The perfect place to kick off your mezcal education, Ferri’s boasts 300 types of mezcal and tequila imported from Mexico, along with plenty of craft gin and whisky. The bar’s owner, Ferri Kadem, is an officially qualified mezcalero (mezcal connoisseur), so there’s no one better to guide you through its many mysteries. If it’s your first encounter with the drink, ask for Los Danzantes Reposado: it strikes a good balance between earthy caramel and smoky flavours. While you’re sipping spirits, be sure to order a plate of Ferri’s nachos – they’re the perfect match for your mezcal, as is the bar’s intimate interior with its stark red walls. Add to the experience Ferri’s flowing English conversation and this is the kind of place you can easily spend too much time in.
