Where to drink in Fitzrovia

6 places to drink in Fitzrovia, each one on the Guide on merit.

  1. Bar Kinky

    Bar Kinky

    Georgian cocktail den

    A basement cocktail den under Kinkally on Charlotte Street, where the Narnia mixes chacha with sagan dalya tea.

    Walk-ins only. For a large group, contact the bar first.

  2. Murder Inc

    Murder Inc

    Cocktail bar

    A basement off Tottenham Court Road done out as a gangster-noir dive, with a ceiling papered in matchbooks and beer mats. From the Cocktail Trading Company team.

  3. Reverend J W Simpson

    Reverend J W Simpson

    Speakeasy

    A basement flat turned cocktail bar, with the old tiles and wall coverings still in place.

    The room is small and gets busy at weekends, so book ahead rather than chancing a walk-in.

  4. The Remedy

    The Remedy

    Candlelit wine bar · European

    Exposed brick, candlelight and a wine list that changes faster than your mind.

    Go for the croquettes and let one of the owners pick your glass.

  5. The Royal Cocktail Exchange

    The Royal Cocktail Exchange

    Cocktail bar

    A light room upstairs, a dark one below, and the people who know how to fill both your glasses.

    Head downstairs to the basement for the moodier seats, and book at weekends.

  6. Tiny Wine Bar & Shop

    Tiny Wine Bar & Shop

    Wine bar & shop

    Properly small, properly warm, and the natural list punches well above the square footage.

    Ask about The Secret Room downstairs if your group outgrows the bar.
