The Parlour

You're walking into something properly designed here—all marble, brass, and dark wood panelling that feels genuinely thought-through rather than theme-park retro. The Parlour takes its cocktails seriously, with bartenders who actually know their stuff and aren't just slingging overpriced mojitos at tourists. It's the kind of place where you can order something classic and complex, or tell them what you fancy and they'll build it properly. The crowd skews smart-casual City types and people who've actually made an effort, especially after work when the bar's buzzing but not rammed.
