This glamorous bar brings fashion fans and creative types out for an evening of drinking, socializing, and flirting. Named "Bar of the Year" by the "Evening Standard" newspaper in 1998, cocktails are the beverages of choice, but there is beer by the bottle but not on tap. A nice wine list is available, and the food is a step above standard bar fare. Downstairs on the basement level, visitors can show off their chic outfits while lounging on couches and bucket seats removed from cars. TUBE: Piccadilly Circus or Oxford Circus
