    Lovely bar with strong 50s theme and good staff. Love the innocuous entrance and dark interior.

    For people accustomed to late nights, this is one of the only options in central London. Good cocktails but light pours.

    I tried Havana this time, and isn't it strong! It is great for whiskey and tobacco lovers though.

    Hard to believe this is in Leicester Square, because it does feel like a hidden gem. Good after-dinner spot.

    Scrabble available, classical music is just the perfect accompaniment. Not to mention free massage on the spot on Sundays.

    You HAVE to try the Kota Ternate - it takes them 2 weeks to make and it's milky...yet totally clear. 100% Delicious.
