London's Midweek Cocktail Deals
Work can be a struggle at the best of times; work in London is another story. What’s worse is you find yourself praying for the end of the week when you can finally wring the tie from your neck, affix it Rambo style around your head and grab a pint or six on Friday night. But why should you have to wait until Friday?
Thanks to London’s wide array of drinking destinations the midweek slump is now something to look forward to and with London Cocktail week almost upon us there’s never been a better time to enjoy amazing cocktails at rock bottom prices. Whilst everyone’s sobbing at the fact it’s only Wednesday you could find yourself savouring your third mojito with a fourth waiting in the wings. So what are you waiting for? Pull up a stool and take a look at some of our favourite cocktail deals in the capital.
London Cocktail Club
It should come as no surprise that number one on our list would be the most aptly named. With 7 locations across the city there’s no excuse not to find yourselves in one of them and let’s face it, why would you pass up the opportunity? With 2-4-£10 cocktails all-day Monday and from Tues-Sat 4.30-7pm it certainly takes the sting out of the wallet but don’t get carried away, no one wants to be hung-over on the tube the following day.
Adventure Bar
If you’re more inclined to be out past 7.30 (of course you are) then maybe you’ll find yourself at home in Adventure Bar. With several locations in the city and boasting a tasty selection of £6 cocktails until midnight Sunday-Thursday it’s almost too good to be true. But they’ve gone one step further; join their mailing list and you’ll receive a free cocktail voucher to get you started. There’s some rather tempting looking grub on the menu too in case you don’t fancy fumbling a pot noodle when you get home.
Fifty-Five
Burgers and cocktails, need we say any more? Well that’s what Fifty-five has in store for you when you punch out at five. At home in the heart of Camden Fifty-five offers serves up 2-4-£10 cocktails mon-fri 6-8pm and 5-8pm Thursday and Friday (cause let’s face it we’ve stopped caring about our condition at work by then). With a mouth-watering menu to boot Fifty-five is one stop you should make on your way home.
Barrio East
If you prefer a little Latin flare and vibrancy to your midweek cocktails then Shoreditch’s Barrio East is a must. From 4-8pm daily you can grab yourself a cheeky £5 cocktail, not to mention a wealth of other drink deals should the mood take you. Spice up the evening with one of Barrio East’s traditional dishes and it’s adiós work, hola good times.
This is just the tip of the iceberg for what London has to offer so get yourselves out there and find your new favourite twist on a classic or an outrageous taste explosion from one of the many cocktail maestro’s of the city.
