Café Kick

20s / 30s / Brazilian / Café / Casual

Party Earth Review Right in the hippest area of Exmouth Market is Café Kick, a little eatery popular with a jovial mix of students and tourists ready to settle in on mismatched chairs, savor Spanish cuisine, watch sports, and play lots and lots of foosball. Naturally, as evidenced by the memorabilia and colorful pennant flags dangling from ... more

Icebar London

20s / 30s / 40s / All Types / Ambient

Party Earth Review Icebar London is the UK’s first permanent bar made entirely of ice. Constructed from crystal ice imported from Sweden’s Torne River, the bar is kept at a temperature of minus five degrees Celsius all year round, the better to keep the bar stools, glasses, sculptures, igloos, and walls from melting. The small space is best ... more

Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese

20s / 30s / 40s / Anything goes / Beer

Party Earth Review Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese had already been a London landmark for more than a hundred years when the Great Fire of 1666 destroyed it – and much of the city. Rebuilt shortly after, the pub saw famous scribes like Charles Dickens and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle become regulars over the years, and today’s pint- and history-loving ... more

Roadhouse

20s / 30s / Bar / Burgers / Club / Dance

Party Earth Review As the name implies, Roadhouse is a recreated highway truck stop whose bright neon sign adds unexpected flair to London’s historical Covent Garden square. The rough roadside vibe is carried on inside, where the décor consists of a Mack truck crashing through one wall, a Harley Davidson on the bar, and road signs and trucker ... more

The Social

20s / 30s / After Work / Artists / Bar

Party Earth Review Minimal space, nightly DJs and a crowd united by a common interest in the latest live indie music make The Social the most aptly named bar in the city despite its out-of-the-way location on a rather deserted street near Oxford Circus. Guests may feel a bit dubious about the club’s possibilities as they walk down a long ... more

Party Earth Review Tucked away in a tiny East End alley, Loungelover is an alluring little treasure, the sort of secret hideaway that most regular patrons hope no one else discovers. Guests are greeted by a hostess before being led into the inner sanctum of cozy nooks and various seating areas surrounding a center bar. The charming but eclectic ... more

Filthy MacNasty's Whiskey Café

20s / 30s / 40s / Artists / Artsy / Bar

Party Earth Review Known as much for its whiskey selection as for its motley crew of devoted customers, Filthy MacNasty’s enjoys a certain local mystique and projects an artsy charm. With a low-key style all its own, the small, dark pub is decidedly scruffy, eschewing the typical rich wood paneling of other English pubs in favor of walls ... more

London Bars Overview

Julie's Restaurant & Bar - Bar | Restaurant | Wine Bar in London

There are hundreds of relaxed, wild, laid-back, and rowdy London bars that range in size and vibe and dot every single neighborhood of the city. For sports lovers, the city provides in spades as sports bars can be found everywhere celebrating all of the London football clubs and even non-local favorites like Manchester United. In addition to football lovers, there are bars dedicated to cricket and rugby as well, so any time a match is being played, the bars are filled with cheering and shouting hooligans.

Being that it’s one of the most expensive cities in the world, there is no shortage of high-end and trendy bars in London populating the nightlife landscape as well. Exclusive spots can be found in the center of the city from the artsy rich in Notting Hill to the password-protected loving crowds of Mayfair, Knightsbridge, and Soho.

For scenes south of the river, there are grittier bars in Brixton that attract an underground music loving element while right next door in Clapham sees rowdy students and young professionals getting blitzed at the flirty bars all over the neighborhood.

East London has a much more alternative vibe with a plethora of DIY bars that look like they could be shuttered at a moment’s notice but cater to a budget-friendly, bohemian, and liberal-minded clientele.

Drinking in London is practically a national pastime and with the endless amount of bars in all corners of the city, it’s easy to understand London’s love affair with its watering holes.
