“You’re entirely bonkers. But I’ll tell you a secret – All the best people are.”

Taking its name from Lewis Carrol’s notorious Mad Hatter’s poem, Little Bat is an unrivalled and intimate haunt to grab an expertly crafted cocktail and party in Wonderland. Hosting ‘library’ and ‘museum’ zones, this idiosyncratic venue is different to anything else you’ll experience in The Big Smoke. It’s edgy, open-minded and doesn’t take itself too seriously - it’s the ideal place to celebrate.

Are you dreaming of a tropical escape? Dream no more, as this cocktail bar and Thai restaurant will make you feel like you’ve just arrived at the tropics. You can indulge yourself in Thai delights such as steamed pork dumplings or panang curry, whilst sipping an award-winning cocktail, as you are entertained by talented burlesque dancers, tiki drummers, DJs, magicians and even fire dancers! It definitely has a very ‘tiki bar’ feel with absolutely amazing tropical décor. Served in fabulous looking cups, you can get a range of refreshing cocktails such as Cuban Colada and Beach Coco Cumber. No matter what the London weather decides to do, this bar will make you feel like you’re in a very sunny place indeed.

The elongated, travel inspired bar is one of a kind - a must stop on your North London bar crawl.

This unique bar celebrates everything street culture – from urban art to street music and everything in-between – you’ll never have seen anything quite like it. There’s even a fully furnished booth, housed within half of a retro-glam, 1970s caravan – where you can sit back and take it all in. With £5 cocktails ‘til 8pm Sunday-Thursday, and ‘til 7pm on Fridays and Saturdays, as well an extensive cocktail menu, this is a fantastic place to unwind.

A little shy of publicity, this one is a real hidden gem in North London.

With something new and exciting on offer every single day of the week, and a fabulous range of interesting music - Ladybird Bar lives up to the reputation which precedes it. The bubbly late night bar is an icon of Islington nightlife, and well known by visitors and locals alike as a creative cocktail chamber. With its impressive nostalgic interior and stunning Boticcelli-esque dome – it’s no wonder people are drawn here in their hundreds every week, to celebrate amidst the finery.
