Press Night: Below & Hidden

Posted on November 27, 2015 by themotleyspicer • Leave a comment

Bourne & Hollingsworth near Charlotte Street has long been one of my favourite bars, particularly in the winter, due to its fantastic cocktails and cosy décor. Then they opened B&H Buildings near Exmouth Market which I tested out for brunch. And now they’ve gone a bit further and created a hidden space below B&H Buildings … Continue reading →

Review: 68 & Boston Press Launch

Posted on November 8, 2015 by themotleyspicer • 1 Comment

68 & Boston is a hybrid wine bar/cocktail lounge in Soho and is a collaboration between Eric Yu of The Breakfast Group, Martin Malley of Planet of the Grapes, and Luca Cordiglieri (former bar manager at China Tang and President of the UK Bartenders’ Guild). The idea is to have an all-day offering in the … Continue reading →

Review: Smith & Wollensky London

Posted on November 8, 2015 by themotleyspicer • Leave a comment

It’s no surprise to anyone who knows me that I love a good steak – why else would I drag myself out of bed to get to Smithfields and carry home a few kilos of prime rib eye? Luckily, London has been fairly blessed but a number of top notch steakhouses from Hawksmoor to Goodman … Continue reading →

Review: Fire Station Waterloo

Posted on August 27, 2015 by themotleyspicer • Leave a comment

The new Fire Station is just like the old Fire Station except much much better. I didn’t care for the old fairly boring pub, but this new incarnation is pretty brilliant. The décor has been scaled back to a classier finish and utilises some elements of the original working fire station (including a coat rack … Continue reading →

Ice Bucket List – Artesian Bar at the Langham Hotel

Posted on August 23, 2014 by themotleyspicer • 1 Comment

The Artesian Bar at the Langham Hotel has long been near the top of my bucket list but the high prices (and my tendency to be in cycle gear) always proved to be an obstacle. Then, thanks to the mutual decision of a few friends to make a visit to such places a regular thing, … Continue reading →

Yelp Gold Elite Event – Churchill Bar Masterclass & Fondue

Posted on January 21, 2014 by themotleyspicer • Leave a comment

This past Saturday, Alex S (Yelp London Community Director) organised the first London Gold Elite* event, and what an event it was! We lucky few were invited to the Churchill Bar in the Hyatt Regency near Marble Arch for a cocktail masterclass and some fondue. Tell us about the event! Upon our (fashionably) late entry, … Continue reading →

Dirty Martini Bishopsgate – Tasty martinis for that mid-week drink

Posted on January 16, 2014 by themotleyspicer • Leave a comment

Earlier this week, I had a pleasure of joining @Janan_Jay on a PR visit to the new Dirty Martini Bishopsgate venue. We were treated to a couple of cocktails and a sharing platter as they wanted to showcase the new digs and menu. I hadn’t been to a Dirty Martini in a couple of years … Continue reading →

64th & Social – Tasty steaks at wallet-friendly prices

Posted on January 13, 2014 by themotleyspicer • Leave a comment

64th & Social is one of a long line of strange bar/restaurant hybrids that line the high street between Clapham North and Clapham Common tube stations. For the most part, I tend to write them all off as trying to do too much and succeeding at nothing. 64th & Social, in contrast, has streamlined the … Continue reading →

Graphic Bar – Gin, anyone?

Posted on December 30, 2013 by themotleyspicer • 1 Comment

Graphic Bar boasts a large collection (65-70) of gins that I used to think was the biggest in London – then I saw City of London Distillery Bar’s massive range of 217 gins (at last count). Still, Graphic holds a spot in my heart for helping me learn that there was more to gin than … Continue reading →

Kettners: Cocktails in a true classic setting

Posted on December 29, 2013 by themotleyspicer • Leave a comment

Kettners is one of the oldest restaurants in London and has managed to hold onto history while adapting itself to the modern age. It’s not perfect, but it’s a great place for a posh drink. The website describes it as having “lived, surviving four kings and a queen, the blitz, several booms and more than … Continue reading →
