Bourne & Hollingsworth

The Fitzrovia fave with a new pop-up street bar

Pour yourself down the stairs at this Central London institution (taking extra care if you've had a few and are wearing heels). Inside? Think living room vibes, with vibrant colours and the kinda patterns Pinterest would love. That neon tribal print might not be easy on the eye but that's the point: this place is all about fun and debauchery.

To match its snazzy look, they've got quirky cocktails to match, with past menus serving up favourites like the Popstar Martini, with passionfruit Champagne jelly, or the "Blue Wray" falernum-laced Heisenberg Daiquiri. The crowd down here is friendly and sure knows how to get loose at the weekend.

Summer 2023 update: The B&H crew are taking things outside with an all-new pop-up, the Lanique Street Bar, set just outside the main entrance. Created in collaboration with Lanique Spirit of Rose, it's a romantic little spot for a few drinks on a balmy summer evening, with a special seaside-inspired drinks menu to match. Our pick? It's the Rose A Day, Oysters Away cocktail - an Insta-worthy mix of Lanique Spirit of Rose, gin, nectarine liqueur, Bonanto Aperitivo and Prosecco, served in a shell and topped with homemade pomegranate and rose sorbet. Shuckin' delicious.
