Funky little underground bar/club in the heart of Covent Garden Market, this place is a great option for late night drinks in town.

With good options at happy hour, the prices soar afterwards, with a beer and vodka tonic setting me back the best part of a tenner. A little overpriced. Also slightly annoying bar staff. The location is so good, though, that it makes up for much of the rest.

Dirty Martini is a New York styled underground cocktail bar on Covent Garden Piazza.

It’s not scruffy but it’s not so up itself that you can’t wear trainers or jeans to get in. The decor is dark and the music seems to dart between house and funk.

I really enjoyed the Berry Cosmo and the Lychee Martini but my friend reports bad things about the Dirty Martini itself - it’s too alcoholic apparently!! haha.

Prices are between £5.95 - £7.95 and they also serve bar food, although I haven’t tried that myself.

This bar is on the main Piazza in Covent Garden but you could easily walk past it he entrance is down some cellar stairs, but don’t let that put you off. The bar is a great find, not only does it have a great atmosphere and imaginative cocktails (not just martini’s) but the ‘happy hour’ offers a great deal and lasts beyond most other bars in this area. The bartenders have their work cut out for them as the ingredients are fresh, but they sure do make delicious cocktails.
