The 18 Best First Date Bars In London

"Atelier Coupette is a small Soho bar ideal for trying several cocktails with a date, without bankrupting yourself in the process. Pours are smaller and prices are lower so you can explore the menu and try several tasty, creative drinks. Drinks like the 12 year-old Highland Park Whisky, with salted chocolate chips and hazelnut cookie milk are a great conversation starter, and there are plenty of options for non-drinkers too. Choose a table towards the back for a buzzy visit, or pitch up at the counter if you want to keep things more casual. " - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna
