Nightjar, Casita, The Book Club and The Whistling Shop Cocktail Bar Review

As much as I like trying out new cocktails, half of the fun is finding new and quirky places to try them.

I've recently migrated from match.com and was trying out this new dating website called Doingsomething www.doingsomething.co.uk.  Doingsomething is based on a fantastic premise of providing novel and interesting date ideas so that the focus isn't on being stressed making a good first impression but the joy of doing something fun.  So this was my first date with a guy from it who seemed to have the impression I was this daredevil (crazy to assume that from my photos of paragliding, snowmobiling and climbing up a 70ft mast...).

Cocktails (and tea) at 140 Park Lane London

There are, I would say, 6 people on this earth who truly know what I'm like and what I like and my friend Sam is one of them.  That's why she knew to email me when she saw a Groupon deal for a gin cocktail and afternoon tea.

Cocktails at Las Iguanas The O2 arena

School nights has never stopped me from having cocktails but Tuesday night cocktails seemed positively rebellious.  However it was no ordinary Tuesday as me and my brother-in-law Tom were at the O2 to see Nicki Minaj.

Carom and Floridita Cocktail Bar Review

I just can't stay away from Leicester Square so it seems, or Wardour Street for that matter.  Only a couple of days after pay day cocktails with the girlies, I was back again on a date with a self imposed venue of Floridita, http://www.floriditalondon.com/ (100 Wardour Street, W1F 0TN).

W Hotel Leicester Square Cocktail Bar Review

Hurray, pay day week!  Before I spend the large bulk of this month's salary buying presents for other people, let's get the cocktails in and do it in style.  This month's venue was the W Hotel Bar, http://www.wlondon.co.uk/w-hotel-bar (10 Wardour Street, W1D 6QF).  I've been here once before for pre drinks before going to a film premier (that's how I rolled in my last job...) and knew I had to come back again.
