The Best New Cocktail Bars in London, January 2023 | Eater London

"The third Swift in the capital has poetically migrated south for the winter, crossing the Thames to open on Borough High Street. It follows the above/below formula of Soho, with a menu of lauded classics — including a devilish Irish coffee — on the ground floor, and a “back pocket” menu of cocktails designed to reflect the bounty of nearby Borough Market downstairs." - James Hansen

The Best Martinis in London, Cocktails From Dukes to the Connaught Bar | Eater London

"This new outpost of the Swift family is a cosier version of Soho, but still with all the elegance. Upstairs is the aperitivo bar, with seasonal drinks — the Pirouette on the main list has martini vibes. But the downstairs bar is the real treat, small and intimate with the best seat in the house at bar, where one should order a Golden Hide. This is actually a fairly low in alcohol, with tequila, brown butter and mead — so martini purists will have strong feelings — but it hits all the right notes: clear presentation of the spirit, a soft mouthfeel (that vermouth gives) and a crisp, although slightly sweet finish. Swift’s Soho outpost does an excellent take on another martini in the Perfect Manhattan (don’t @ me, it’s a martini!), and all its bars make exceptional dry gin martinis with a twist." - Anna Sulan Masing

One of London’s Best Cocktail Bars Is Opening on Borough High Street | Eater London

"Reputed as one of London's top cocktail destinations, this operation is celebrated for its understated elegance and particularly praised Irish coffees. A third site will open at 66 Borough High Street in October, occupying a two-floor layout modeled on the original location: classic cocktails served upstairs for walk-ins, with a more exclusive downstairs room offering a tighter, more singular menu. The Borough opening follows a Shoreditch outpost launched in July 2020, and the team plans a monthly specials programme drawing on producers and grocers from the historic market nearby. The project is a joint venture between Bobby Hiddleston and Mia Johannson (with experience at Callooh Callay and New York’s Dead Rabbit) together with Nightjar founders Edmund Weil and Rosie Stimpson; the original venue opened in 2016." - James Hansen

What a great cocktail bar. From the moment you walk through the door the staff are so friendly. We sat at the bar and the guy (didn’t get his name) making the cocktails was so welcoming and upbeat, explaining everything to us. A great cocktail menu also which is so varied. Also has beer wine, champagne available for any non cocktail drinkers.

It was a wonderful experience!!!! The mixologist was an absolute expert, very savvy about the liquors offered in house and great knowledge of other cocktails not offered in the menu. Mesmerized with everything set on the table from the decor to the wonderful balsamic mixed nuts. A true spectacle for the cocktail lover. No doubt, will be back.

They do a nice Irish coffee, cream is super thick and it might be slightly on the sweet side overall but it is delicious. Service is really good.

Very nice cocktails, it is a small place. With ground floor and basement. We sat in the basement bar, the tables and seating arrangements are very crowded, we practically nearly sat on top of the couple next to us! Nice place if you like a busy vibe, not good if you prefer a more chilled and cosy atmosphere

This place came on recommendation from someone in the trade. We didn’t have a reservation but they found us a space at the bar, which was perfect. It’s dimly lit and very well decorated. Someone has clearly put a lot of effort into creating a slightly prohibition but slick atmosphere. Good job! We had a couple of cocktails off the menu plus some classics. The two cocktail bartenders were friendly, accommodating and produced some fabulous cocktails, visually appealing and tasty! We were also impressed with their large block of ice which they chisel away for the drinks. If I were to make one observation is that they didn’t use a fine strainer so the margarita had little shards of floating ice. I’m being fussy but it’s a pet hate. Otherwise fantastic place. Highly recommend! The Irish coffee looked very yummy but we didn’t try.

Our first visit here, with a team of friendly staff from the charming door person to the efficient and welcoming FOH staff. Excellent range of wine and cocktails. Lovely atmosphere, a refuge from the craziness of the nearby market.
