Slightly expensive but incredibly lovely, cocktails at Lounge Lover always feels like a special occasion. Decor is beautiful and interesting, the smell of incense is warm and welcoming and cocktails are uniformly delicious. Table service can be slightly slow when very busy but you can always just visit the bar if you don't want to wait. Book in advance as seating space is limited and it is always busy.
Loungelover provides a cool, relaxed environment to chill out with friends whilst enjoying amazing cocktails which are beautifully created. Loved the private room which appeared for us when they drew back the sliding doors (it used to be their art gallery sometime back - so am much happier with the comfy sofas now in place). Particularly recommend the vibrant coloured Utopia, which also tasted fab. Highly recommended!!!
Don’t let Lounge Lover’s grotty back street location fool you – the bar is just beautiful. I fell in love with it before I so much as opened their cocktail menu. It has a quirky orient feel that’s definitely on the right side of ostentatious. That paired with the lingering smell of rose incense, charming table service and music pitched perfectly for conversation makes Lounge Lover the sort of place you can spend an entire evening in. Unfortunately the price of the cocktails isn’t conducive to an all-nighter. Not to say that they’re overpriced – the extensive menu is imaginative and they all tasted wonderful – but £10 per drink isn’t cheap. And because the cocktail menu is so huge, you will want to work your way through all of them. My favourite was Chocolate Mistress – a mix of Tuaca, Baileys and frangelico that I’m desperate to recreate at home. I’d definitely recommend that you book in advance, especially if you’re planning on a weekend visit. Groups of two might have to share their table, like we did, which was a little annoying. Lounge Lover may be pricey but it’s definitely the spot for special occasion drinks (before nipping off somewhere a bit cheaper).
