A polished cocktail bar with real personality, this is a place for people who care about what is in the glass. The concept draws on New York tavern culture, but the drinks have a distinctly British point of view, with modern technique used in a measured way rather than for show. The venue is spread across a few distinct rooms, so it works equally well for a quick drink or a longer evening. What makes it worth a visit is the balance of ambition and ease. It feels considered without becoming stiff, and the cocktails give you something to remember beyond the setting.
