Swish, Battersea "style bar" with Oriental decadence and award-winning cocktails.

Escape the clamour of West End clubs with this out-of-town, style bar alternative. High standards, a hip crowd and glamorous surroundings make this a worthy rival to the over-priced, over-styled venues that flood the centre. An award-winning cocktail bar boasting a number of exceptionally rare, exclusive spirits services thirsty customers with some of the most unique concoctions on the market for some of the lowest prices in London. With a distinctly post-colonial feel to it, inside it’s all low mahogany tables, wooden screens, flickering candles, hand-carved furniture, open fires and incense smoke. In hot summer months a Havana rum bar perched on an outdoor terrace further boosts the bar’s refreshment repertoire, while a range of cigars add to the Cuban feel. Sharing platters of tapas-style food, combined with a funky, low-key music policy make this a complete evening experience and well worth the short taxi ride from Chelsea or two-minute walk from Battersea train station.

Best for:
Out-of-town Oriental ambience, open fires and outdoor terraces, cigars and Havana rum, 23 different Martinis and cocktails with a twist.
