Happy Hour

Nordic is a Scandinavian lounge bar in London's Fitzrovia district. The Scandinavian people may be renowned for their beauty and grace but nobody looks graceful playing fussball or ping pong after a few fruity ciders.

The Tale Bar

The iconic Playboy bunnies provide pleasant scenery as well as service especially when you're having equally breath-taking cocktails made right at your table. You can just walk into Salvatore unlike its exclusive neighbour Baroque, so there's nothing stopping you heading down and feeling like The Heff in front of your mates.
