A
sophisticated,
stylish
lounge
with
solid
cocktails
some
of
the
best
bar
snacks
I've
ever
had.
Yes,
it's
another
one
of
those
"secret"
bars.
(It's
not
a
secret,
really.
The
doorman
asks
you
straight
up
if
you're
looking
for
Blind
Spot.)
If
you're
not
sure,
just
go
into
the
hotel
and
straight
ahead
in
the
alcove
with
all
the
bottles
on
the
wall,
there
will
be
a
really
nice
doorman.
He's
super
nice,
which
is
so
refreshing
in
a
city
stuffed
full
of
pretentious,
control-freak
security
guards.
The
bar
itself
is
dimly
lit.
The
vibe
is
very
refined
and
classy
yet
still
casual
and
relaxed
enough
that
it
stays
firmly
in
the
unpretentious
side
of
cocktail
lounges.
There's
a
mix
of
clientele
from
artists,
to
theatre
goers,
to
finance
bros
and
lawyers,
to
well-off
young
millennials.
It's
not
a
place
for
sportswear,
raucous
hen
parties,
or
a
filthy
lad's
night
out.
It
has
standards,
especially
as
it
is
inside
a
5-star
luxury
hotel.
Music
is
from
a
live
DJ,
and
when
we
visited,
he
was
spinning
some
serious
Tulum
vibes,
which
I
love.
The
vibe
is
A+.
Prices
are
reasonable,
considering
the
venue
and
location
--
and
the
proper
quality
of
the
drinks.
Very
well-balanced,
and
enough
punch
that
you
can
actually
feel
the
booze
after
1
or
2
(rare
in
London).
The
bar
snacks
were...
a
revelation?
Not
sure
how
else
to
put
it.
Maybe
we
were
just
starving
but
they
were
hands
down
the
most
delicious
snacks
we've
ever
had
at
any
bar.
There
were
a
few
weaker
ones
(the
duck
confit
croquettes
come
to
mind).
But
the
okra
is
to
die
for!
Chicken
bites,
frites,
sprats...
all
good.
Service
was
good,
but
a
little
spotty
at
times.
But
when
they
were
attentive,
they
were
super
helpful
finding
us
the
best
cocktail
for
our
tastes
and
providing
custom
ones
as
well!
It's
definitely
a
bar
to
check
out
if
you
like
legit
good
drinks
and
awesome
snacks
to
go
along
with
them.
It
was
such
a
delightful
experience
that
we
strongly
considered
returning
again
the
next
night.
We
will
be
back
when
in
town
again.
