Buck' N Bull Saloon

You're walking into proper Americana here—exposed brick, dim lighting, and the kind of bar staff who actually know their bourbon from their rye. Buck' N Bull sits right on Great Portland Street in Fitzrovia, a neighbourhood that's gotten far too polished in recent years, so this place feels like a genuine antidote to the usual cocktail bar posturing. The drinks are generously poured, the crowd's a proper mix of locals and tourists who've stumbled onto something real, and there's no pretence about it. It's the kind of spot where you can order a beer and a whiskey without someone sliding you a leather-bound menu.
