17 best bars in London for an unforgettable night | Honeycombers
Punch Room at The London Edition is fantastic. It’s hidden behind an unmarked door in the hotel lobby. Inside, it feels like a London club from the 1920s, with one of the best punch bowls in the city.
Then there’s Evans & Peel Detective Agency in Earl’s Court. You have to “book a case” and then push a bookcase to get in. It’s basically a real-life escape room that serves whiskey. How cool is that for a first impression?
The "Wine and Whine" Alternative
Not everyone is a cocktail person, and that’s okay. Maybe your date is a bit more chill and prefers a good glass of red. Wine bars can feel too serious, so pick one with personality.
Humble Grape in Kensington is a gem. It feels like a friend’s living room, with huge jars of pickles on the counter and fireplaces. The wine list is endless, but the staff are super friendly and will help you pick something you both love.
It avoids the awkward "I don't know much about wine" moment. You can just say, “I like things that taste like berries,” and they’ll bring you magic.
