    Passion Fruit Martini
    Norman W.

    Looking on the internet we came across this bar to visit on out trip to Covent Garden. Opening at 3.00 pm we thought it would be a perfect choice for a martini after our visit to The London Film Museum. Finding it can be difficult as the entrance is quite small. From Covent Garden, facing the London Transport Museum it is on the left just before the museum. Down the stairs to the basement leads into this fantastic bar. As we were early there were only two others inside but this filled out as the hour went on and, I would imagine, fills to capacity later in the day especially as their Happy Hour lasts from 3.00 to 10.00 pm. Immediately we sat down a waiter popped over to say 'Hi' and explained which pages of the extensive cocktail menu was covered by the Happy Hour. He then left us for a few minutes while we perused. Shortly after he returned and we ordered a Passion Fruit martini and a Dirty martini. I was asked whether I preferred vodka or gin. Those martinis were the almost the best I have tasted and another, naturally, went down. Unusually, my Dirty martini had a hint of thyme along with the olives. Then comes the bill. Surprisingly, four cocktails during the Happy Hour came to £18. Now, in this part of town this comes as a 'no brainer'. Where would you get such a great deal. Check it out guys, well worth a visit.

    Dirty Martini is fabulous for their Happy Hours more than anything else. I have been to the jam packed outlet on Liverpool Street. This was the first visit to the one in Covent Garden. It's cozier (read: smaller :D) but less crowded. I caught up with a friend, who is relatively new to London and she loved it. Feels like a little cellar. What I also love about Dirty Martini is their mango and chilli martini - it packs a pungent and sweet flavor...there are days I have longed for it. Also like their lavender martini. Good ambiance and nice place to catch on a few rounds of drinks after work.

    After fun times at the mulled wine festival, I deceived to get a quick cocktail with a yelp friend near Covent Garden. As a big fan of dirty martini, for their enormous cocktail list, it was a no brainer to go here and we were particularly happy to learn the happy hour went on till 10. The cocktail list is full of great choices, from classic to more incentive concoctions like strawberry and basil martini, and pear and ginger martini. I love anything different so the menu really impressed me. What let it down is it's quite a small venue and after work, it's full, so can make it hard to find anywhere to stand.. Seating is out of the question without a reservation.. Would stop by for a cocktail, but definitely prefer some of the other dirty martinis in London, where there is more space to dance and a chance to sit down.

    This basement bar in the heart of Covent Garden is a great place to start the night with their 2 for 1 Martinis and drinks offer. They are well made, yummy and there are lots of options to choose from. The DJs play a great set of music too! The downside is the wait, I have never gotten a drink in less than 30 minutes which is a shocking wait. They need more staff behind the bar very badly.

    The Alchemist was literally at the bottom of our Airbnb, making it incredibly convenient--and I'm…read moreso glad we stopped in. The location is fantastic, the customer service was excellent, and the atmosphere made for a really enjoyable breakfast. I started with a cappuccino and added salted caramel, but honestly, the cappuccino was so good it didn't even need it. It was smooth, rich, and perfectly made on its own. For breakfast, I ordered the Eggs Benedict. They offer two versions: one with pulled beef and one Florentine. As someone from the US who's a bit of an Eggs Benedict snob, I've tried countless versions over the years, and pulled beef just wasn't something I could picture working with it. I went with the Florentine and customized it by adding bacon, avocado, and a side of sausage. One thing I've learned while visiting the UK is that the sausages are much larger than what I'm used to back home! I honestly could have skipped it because it was so filling. The Benedict itself was unique--the base was almost like a buttery croissant instead of a traditional English muffin, and it came with pickled red onions, which was an interesting touch. The poached eggs were cooked perfectly, and I especially enjoyed it with the added bacon. The food was fresh, high quality, and beautifully prepared. There was plenty of seating both inside and outside, but I chose to sit outside and enjoy some people watching, which made for a relaxing start to the day. Overall, a great breakfast spot with delicious food, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere. I'd definitely come back.

    food: dint grab food only drinks but the were yum and barely tasted like alcohol. also they were…read moreobviously presented super uniquely service: the staff was nice but kinda slow getting to us at a table and there was a lot of chaos like a bartender dropping glasses the whole time ambiance: really cool lighting and interior, gets very busy though
