All Bar None
The place to be for the haves and the wanna-haves. Expensive drinks, snooty people, and a long waiting at the bar if youre not one of the Beautiful People. Ideal for a few drinks before clubbing.
Address: 5 bree Street

Piano lounge
Smooth place, classic retro with velvet curtains and a grand piano. Theyve often got a dj spinning 70s stuff, filling up the dance floor. The upstairs lounge is ideal to relax and sip on a really fancy cocktail.
