Kitjn

There is always a party in the kitjn
Tipple of choice: Rum-based drinks are the thing here, from classics like the Dark 'n' Stormy to the Tongue Tickler, a novel blend of rum, cucumber, elderflower, and Chartreuse.

Located in a residential area off the beaten track, Kitjn has to work harder to win custom than the city-centre cocktail bars, so the fact that it's constantly buzzing is testament to its impeccable cocktails and relaxed, good-natured atmosphere. And, perhaps, the fact that it's got a really nice smoking room.
The decor is simple but effective, with bare-brick walls, sofas, and a glimpse of the kitchen out back from which the bar takes it name. No food is served but, cheekily, the cocktail menu is arranged under Starters, Main Courses, and Desserts.
