January Doesn’t Need to be All Doom and Gloom – Great Bars in London
Hands up who is feeling a little deflated after the festive season? After a month or so of parties, dinners and frantic shopping, it’s no wonder that many of us feel a little blue in January. There’s no need to wallow in a wintery gloom; get up, get ready and get along to one of these fantastic bars in London. Christmas may be over but 2014 has just begun!
This Shaftesbury Avenue establishment is the perfect venue for a little post-Christmas pick-me-up. The basement cocktail bar is well-equipped for supplying your tipple of choice, while the 120 seat restaurant upstairs offers a menu packed with mouth-watering dishes. Move on from the turkey with some black face mutton mince and dumplings, brown trout with shrimp and tarragon butter, rib eye steak and truffled cheesy fries before indulging in an All English Martini, Jerry Thomas Manhattan or Cynar Gin Fizz.

We defy you to be miserable in a Lewis Carroll themed bar! Choose from the three rooms – the Bar, which is described as a lively, bustling Shoreditch hideaway, step through the wardrobe to the table-service Lounge or pop upstairs to the current pop-up in the Upstairs Bar. The cocktail list at Callooh Callay is amazing, featuring fantastic concoctions such as the Disco Gin Pernod (Tanqueray Gin, mulled orange syrup, sweet vermouth, Cyner and absinthe) and the #cocktail (tequila, pink peppercorn syrup, pink grapefruit, Kamm and Sons and ginger ale).

Relax and enjoy a drink or two as you take in the various artefacts and mementoes of the infamous Phileas Fogg’s 80-day trip around the world. Jules Vern’s fictional character has well and truly been brought to life by Mr Fogg’s, where investigating the décor is as much fun as the drinking itself. Entomology displays, pith helmets, stuffed hunting trophies and even a hot-air balloon are amongst the trinkets which have been incorporated into the bar’s interior. Add to that some stiff cocktails served in cut glass and you have the makings of an excellent Victorian-themed night out.
