Dive

You'll find Dive tucked away on Blandford Street in Marylebone, one of those neighbourhoods that's somehow managed to stay relatively unspoilt despite being minutes from Oxford Street madness. The bar itself lives up to its name: you're heading downstairs into a properly atmospheric basement space with dark wood, dim lighting, and the kind of setup that makes you feel like you've discovered something worth discovering. The drinks here are the real deal—bartenders who actually know what they're doing, working with quality spirits and fresh ingredients rather than relying on gimmicks. It's the sort of place where regulars have clearly been coming for years, but newcomers get treated just as well.
