The Exhibit

5 Great Things To Eat & Drink In Balham - London - The Infatuation

"Sure, when you were 16 you smoked cigarettes behind the school bike shed to show any prospective partners that you were oh-so cool. Thankfully, that tragic right of passage has passed and now you can replace smoking (coughing) with spicy cocktails when you’re looking to spark a little romance. The Nutty Mai Tai at buzzing multi-story bar, The Exhibit will do just that. They’ve also got all of your classic cocktails covered and have plenty of outdoor space if your date happens to coincide with golden hour. There’s no lack of good date drinking spots in these parts, but Brother Marcus’ charming little back garden should be at the top of your agenda if you’re going to be doing - or at least attempting - to flirt. Get the mezcal and pomegranate Dumanli cocktail." - heidi lauth beasley
