Well hello to you my reader chums! Who doesn't love a cocktail? You can't beat it, especially when you're uptown for the day or staying in London over a couple of nights. London is a hub of quirky bars, classic British pubs and every type of eatery you can think of. I love going up there every now and then for a day out as the experience will always be completely different from the one before.

I'm not a major expert in London bars, however, on my last visit uptown, I went on a bit of a cocktail crawl in Covent Garden and found some brilliant hotspots - and wanted to share.

Blame Gloria

I was recommended to go here by a few people and I can see why. It's the ultimate 'girls' night out' venue, where they play the perfect sing-along tunes, have every Insta opportunity you can think of an assortment of cocktails. Every cocktail comes in a different quirky glass - and on every day other than Saturday, they do a 2 for 1 happy hour. It's a bar I'd love to revisit again with a group of my gal pals.

Dirty Martini 

Located in the heart of Covent Garden, I've walked past this bar so many times and finally went in on my last London trip. It's located on the bottom floor, this bar is every you can expect from a London bar - it looks fancy and serves up every style of cocktail.

London Cocktail Club Shaftesbury

The furthest out of Covent Garden on the list, London Cocktail Club has to be one of my favourite bars I've come across. Tucked away through a red door, as you go downstairs, the dimmed lighted venue has a lot of character to it - and the most beautiful selection of cocktails! Think of candy cocktails, classic daiquiris and so many more - it's completely worth the money.

Mr Foggs Gin Parlour

Traditionally known as a gin distillery, this little gem is incredibly quirky on the inside. It has an old-school, classic English vibe with the most random decor you can think of - like stuffed animals and unusual things hanging from the ceiling. I'm not a gin drinker so I dabbled into their list of cocktails - and honestly, they were delicious. I also liked how the served their cocktails in a glass mug!

The Alchemist 

Probably the most famous bar around this area, the Alchemist looks like an Instagram dream and serves up a selection of the best cocktails. It is usually very popular so it's best to reserve a table in advance, especially if it's for a celebration.

I hope you enjoyed this post. What are your favourite cocktail bars in Covent Garden?
