"Closing time: 1am Monday to Saturday If you’re looking to rebrand ‘drinking enough gin on a Tuesday to sedate Patsy Stone’ as ‘a sophisticated nightcap for two’ then Claridge’s Bar is our go-to classy candidate. There are black-and-white photographs of celebrities on former trips to this elegant Mayfair hotel and glassware that gives us big, sentimental feelings over a scallop-design coupe. The Claridge’s dry martini is legendary, but if you’re not partial to glacial gin pours, order the zesty, Negroni-adjacent Garibaldi." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley
