"Follow the red light that spills onto Tib Street in the heart of the Northern Quarter and escape the crowds by tucking into The Daisy, a basement cocktail bar that oozes with charm like the melted candelabra centerpiece on its bar. It’s all California cool: chequerboard floors, pleated lamps, and black and white art prints of hot people making out. With a live DJ in the corner, it’s perfect for anyone who wants to feel like they’ve had a night on the town but doesn’t have the stamina for a club anymore, or when you want your date to lean in closer and can blame it on the Kandy thumping on the speakers. The cocktails are best when they veer away from fruity, like the Cacao Boulevardier which is chilled until it’s almost viscous and the sake-accented Daisy Negroni." - becky cooper
