Matchmakers Talk: London’s Best Bar Hotspots for Dating
With a date you’d like to impress, it can pay to know where to go to find the right vibe that’s conducive to having a great night out for drinks in London.
There are around 3,500 pubs in the capital, then there are all of London’s hotel bars and other outlets, all offering somewhere for drinks out, so how do you select where to go when you are so spoilt for choice?
We have provided a few of our favourites for you here that you might like to try.
A Stylish Hotel Bar With Great City Views, DJ Disco and a Late-Night Lounge.
Open Wednesdays to Saturdays from 6pm, Sweeties Bar is on the 10th floor of The Standard Hotel, Argyle Street, WC1, and could well be worth having on your short list for an intimate drink date. Ideal for starting off the evening with a stylish cocktail, it’s also a great option as the night goes on, for lingering much longer. There’s attractive floor to ceiling views of the City and we love the vibe here.
Sophisticated Bar With Live Entertainment 6 Nights a Week
One of London’s most iconic hotspots regularly appearing on London’s top bar lists, for a sophisticated and memorable evening with drinks, try Scarfe’s Bar, located in High Holborn. Scarfe’s offers regular live music along with great drinks that include creative cocktails. The décor is reminiscent of a relaxed gentleman’s club – soft lighting, plush velvet sofas and soft cushions, roaring fires and shelves lined with antique books. We love it!
Looking for Somewhere in London for Drinks That’s Just a Little Bit Different?
In Nunhead, South London, take your date to Skehan’s Pub, one of London’s few independently owned Pubs. There’s a very friendly welcome to be had here. Skehan’s attracts all ages and as well as there being traditional pub drinks on offer, Skehan’s has some nights with Karaoke, folk music or other live music entertainment - a real eclectic mix, there’s even a pool table and darts board. This pub was named ‘Best Pub’ by Timeout in 2023. This place has been described as having a fantastic vibe, lots of fun and where to be served, ‘one of the best pints of Guinness in London’.
