Mayfair bar Apres kicks off the summer spirit this weekend with its new ‘Latin Sundays’, channeling the vibe of Mexico. Colourful, chilled out and boozy, bring along your favourite sombrero to down a round of tequila. There’s also Mexican food on offer, or rum if tequila isn’t really your bag. Oh and the best shirt wins a round of margaritas.
While you might assume a speakeasy doesn’t slot as easily into Mayfair’s social scene, think again. New launch Mr Fogg’s – named after traveller Phileas Fogg – takes you around the world from its underground haunt. It’s poached The Connaught Hotel’s cocktail guru to create a dizzying menu including Absinthe Aperitifs and Gin Fizzes, so you know the drinks will be good. See how many countries you can spot on the wall.
Camden’s gone Memphis on us with the opening of Porky’s, an all-American barbecue joint. The smokehouse serves up meaty ribs, pulled pork and BBQ chicken, all washed down with a bourbon cocktail, natch. It’s proper southern soul food for hungry north Londoners.
