AMARO BAR - London

You're on Kensington High Street, that stretch that somehow manages to feel both proper and unpretentious, and you slip into this place that takes its amari seriously—properly seriously. The whole concept revolves around those Italian digestifs and aperitifs that most London bars treat as an afterthought, but here they're the entire conversation. The bartenders aren't doing anything flashy; they're just methodically building drinks that taste like they understand the category from the ground up, whether you're after something bracingly bitter or gently herbal.
