"Nipperkin - Not only does it feel like you're having a cocktail in your suspiciously wealthy and eccentric aunt's parlour, but every single drink here is so deftly judged. Their focus on British produce showcases unexpected flavours in classics, the view of the bartenders tempering ice lulls you into a doe-eyed daze, and the people watching would have given Jilly Cooper plentiful material. (RIP Dame J)"
"I'm predictable AF so it will be a Martini, but of the allium variety - the Gibson. London Dry Gin (nothing too complicated botanical-wise, maybe something with a nice nod to the city like Hayman's), dry vermouth and a good quality silverskin pickled onion. If there's a bag of pickled onion Monster Munch lying around as a snack too, even better."
Nipperkin delivers a cosy, eccentric parlour atmosphere with consistently deftly judged cocktails that emphasize British produce and unexpected flavours in classic drinks. Bartenders temper ice in full view, creating a slow, mesmerising mood and excellent people-watching. The Gibson is the go-to order: London Dry Gin, dry vermouth and a quality silverskin pickled onion, with a playful nod to pickled-onion snacks. Anticipation surrounds the Waldorf Astoria Admiralty Arch bar, which aims to feature a whisky from every UK distillery. Social spontaneity, pub visits and celebrating small moments are in; staying in, mocktails, flashy luxury, poor bar snacks, queuing and rudeness to staff are out.
