Encircled with light brown leather banquettes and centered around a marble bartop laden with bespoke silver cocktail shakers and glasses, this elegant, wood-floored besottery is ensconced in the ground floor of the circa 1926 resto & members club Quo Vadis, Latin for "Where Are You Going" -- though if their marketing'd been Guinness-direct, it'd have been "You Are Going Here". Bottles run from Timmy Taylor's Landlord to an oak-noted Breton cider, while 'tails include classically made classics (Martinis are stirred, Bloodys "rolled") and newfangledness like the Johnny Black/ lemon/ honey / chamomile "Tea Trader Sour" and the rum/ sloe gin/ apricot/ lime "Millionaire #4" -- also a contestant on a blind-dating show starring wealthy men who haven't discovered the seductive power of yachts. Solid sustenance comes via bar-menu items like the QV Burger (w/ triple cooked chips), black pudding w/ a fried duck egg, salt cod fritters, and mustard/dill Dorset mussels, whose largeness is actually frustrating, as it intimidates you from making fun of their accent.
Quo Vadis: 26-29 Dean Street; W1D 3LL; 0207 437 9585
