Hotels near Carbon Bar

Carbon Bar offers that rare thing that London could do with more of: a late night spot where you don't have to pay to get in with classy cocktails and DJs spinning smooth, Ibiza-style tunes. The spacious, dimly lit industrial warehouse space is a bar/night club hybrid which affluent, attractive professionals fed up with queuing for clubs will love. Although there's no official dance floor you inevitably get people letting loose as the night hots up. Music sets the funky vibe and there's a DJ booth elevated over the bar in a 'God is a DJ' kind of way. The night we went (sampling 'Fool's Gold' and 'More-Phine' cocktails, both highly recommended) DJ Olli Collins - a Pacha and Ministry of Sound regular - was spinning some excellent tunes that had us wishing they'd already secured their 3am licence (currently it's open until 1am). For those who really want to impress there's the Champagne Bar upstairs serving high end and rare Tattinger fizz, bottles of which adorn the mesh walls as you ascend. Our advice, get there before the crowds do.
