Hawksmoor, Guildhall

Anywhere that serves cocktails for breakfast gets our vote!

BarChick didn’t think Hawksmoor could get any better, but somehow they’ve done it. Not only does their City-based hangout open at 7am, this place has a licence for the bar, so there's none of that have-to-eat thang. Being at the epicentre of the City, it's gonna be heaving with hot bankers (so girls get in there - you’ll clean up) and if you’re not into the suited types, then sit at the bar as the boys are both charming and delicious. Plus, they happen to be some of the best bartenders in town.

The cocktail menu is massive and it starts with Anti-Fogmatics (early morning drinks) and finishes with Disco Drinks, with all sorts in between - you’ll be spoilt for choice whatever time of day it is. BarChick has never been a breakfast kinda girl until now: these guys have the Bourbon 'n Milk which is cornflake ice-cream, milk and Woodford Reserve; it's insanely good, Macdonalds take note.  If you're more into your marmalades in the morning, then have a (homemade) Marmalade Cocktail, it's better than a piece of toast can ever be (although carb loaders will be happy to know these guys have unlimited toast on the breakfast menu).
