About Cocktail Bar venues

A cocktail bar specialises in mixed drinks, from classics to original creations, often with skilled bartenders and a curated atmosphere. Light bites usually accompany the drinks.

The United Kingdom's restaurant scene has undergone a dramatic transformation over recent decades and now ranks among the world's most diverse. London alone holds more Michelin stars than most national capitals, but everyday British eating spans gastropubs, Sunday roast traditions, high-street fish-and-chip shops and an extraordinary range of South Asian, East Asian and Middle Eastern restaurants brought by successive waves of immigration. The UK's food culture values informality, multiculturalism and the neighbourhood pub as a social anchor.
