Central London

Area Overview

Fitzrovia is a great central location for you to hold your cocktail making class. The West End is just a stone’s throw away, as is energetic Oxford Street, Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus, meaning there is no shortage of things to do and places to explore before and after your exclusive cocktail experience. Guests commuting to and from London only have a short trip to Euston, King’s Cross St Pancras and Paddington.

COCKTAIL BARS:

Meraki Bar – Hidden beneath the Greek Fitzrovia restaurant, you can access the bar from Foley Street, around the corner from the restaurant’s entrance. The interior is filled with plush sofas and velvet cushions on which to lounge while sipping cocktails, and bar food is easily hustled down for you from the upstairs restaurant. There are also private booths where you can enjoy your Mediterranean inspired cocktails in lavish surroundings; perfect for a romantic date or quiet meal before or after your class.

The Remedy Wine Bar – Located a short walk away from our Fitzrovia base, this cozy wine bar plays host to a rotating black board of different wines. The owner opens whatever he fancies – or thinks you might fancy – and chalks it up there for everyone to enjoy. They work with small quality-centered producers, and are quick to come up with a decent recommendation if you’re feeling a bit lost. There are some small Italian inspired plates to enjoy alongside your wine, and you can sit outside if the weather permits. It is a great spot for a date or small group of friends.

Genuine Liquorette – Modeled after New York’s eponymous basement bar, these guys are challenging the conventional relationship between customer and bartender. There’s a self-service counter, where cocktails come on tap, or if you prefer you can order from a form, and the friendly staff bring it over. Cocktails are fun and playful, served in cans with unconventional garnishes. Both the tap room upstairs and the cocktail bar downstairs are relaxed settings with interesting décor – checkered floors and shelves packed with unusual spirit bottles and cans, in a New York liquor store – meets Victorian pub fashion. All this makes this the perfect hangout for larger groups to continue their evening after their cocktail class.

RESTAURANTS:

Homeslice (£) – Fancy some 20” crispy-based pizza goodness in the heart of London, without spending a small fortune? Homeslice is your go-to. Having upgraded from pop up to permanent Covent Garden home, this second 70-cover restaurant provides a contrast to the Seven Dials site’s stark, bright décor as well as an expanded menu, a basement cocktail bar, takeaway counter and space outside too. Local lagers, craft beers, Prosecco on tap and house wines delivered in measurable magnums (simply pay for what you drink) all feature on the drinks list, making this the perfect location for larger groups looking to continue their evening after their cocktail class.

Salt Yard (££) – Salt Yard is a charcuterie bar and restaurant serving small plates which bring the best of Spain and Italy under one roof. It is currently in the safe hands of Head Chef Michael Carter, whose dishes range from the intricate to the beautifully simple. A short walk from Goodge St and Oxford Circus, Salt Yard is the perfect middle-of-the-road choice for a quick lunch, more lengthy celebratory feast, or simply a lovely glass of cold sherry at the bar before or after your cocktail class with us at our Fitzrovia venue.

Mere (£££) – An elegant and contemporary restaurant nestled in the heart of Fitzrovia, Mere offers a refined yet relaxed dining experience for you to enjoy before or after your class. Headed up by the well-known chef Monica Galetti (who avid fans of Masterchef may be aware of) and her husband, David, the menu is designed to celebrate the passion and heritage of husband and wife team, blending classical French with South Pacific influences. So, if you don’t mind spending a little bit above the average on your bite to eat, or you’re celebrating a special occasion, then it’s definitely worth the 4-minute walk from your cocktail making class to your plate.
