Don’t get distracted by the cosy eclectic decor, complete with wingback armchairs, marble-topped tables, a patchwork of Persian rugs and huge lampshades that look like birds' nests. The focus here is the cocktails, which are creatively crafted, utilising curious herbs and syrups, and served up in shiny vintage glassware. Opt for the cocktail of the month if you’re feeling adventurous.
If the crowds are too much, escape next door to intimate shoebox Backdoor43, which is run by the same people.
