Mahiki (Bar)

This is a venue in London for people who aren't going out to be seen to be seen. You don't have to be 'with it' or look like you're going for a boy-band audition. Yes, the drinks are expensive (all good cocktails in London are) but they have some of the most imaginative barmen there, who are always willing to try something off the extraordinary menu. An A+ for imaginative and tasty cocktails, and a gold star for relaxed, cheesy, 'I'm-here-to-have-fun' music. Yes, it can be difficult to get in and, yes, it can get packed (which isn't so much fun) but that's the price you have to pay for a good cocktail bar.

Milk & Honey (Bar / Members' Club)

I'd heard so much about this place and found it a bit overrated when I eventually turned up. Staff were helpful and polite and the atmosphere was OK, but it had a bit of an awkward, messy feel to it. I felt it was more of a statement being seen there, rather than being there to enjoy yourself.

In summary, there are a lot of other hidden places in this area that easily achieve the style, elegance and atmosphere that M&H is striving for.
