"Negronis want you to be drunk. They want you to dance and sing and pose for indulgent selfies and be so happy you forget your sunglasses are on your head. Sometimes they also want you to stain your white shirt fluorescent red at 6pm but that’s a conversation for a different time. The point is Below Stone Nest is the ultimate good time negroni enabler. This moody basement bar on Shaftesbury Avenue has distressed walls, an abundance of tealights on the small circular tables, and—CC: the gin rushing through your veins—live jazz music. The negronis here are simplicity at its finest: that tinkle sound of the ice cubes, one great slice of lemon, and the delightful price of £8.50." - heidi lauth beasley, daisy meager
