It is difficult to describe Mr Fogg’s Apothecary. On one hand, it has a novelty feel and is certainly a little quirky. But on the other, it has this incredible elegance and charm that makes the former critique hard to understand. It just works! As a result, it most definitely falls into the category of the best bars near South Molton Street.

The setting is Victorian London with all the fine trimmings and trappings such as high-quality upholstered chairs, a beautiful bar and carefully considered low lighting. And the theme runs on into the cocktail menu. And we have to say, it is the cocktails that are the star of the show. Bearing amusing and sometimes slightly concerning names, the drinks available are concoctions that could well have been weird and mystical potions brought back by the fictional explorer from his trip around the world. Needless to say, all ingredients are fresh and perfectly edible!

Another trip back in time now as we return to the roaring 20s at Le Magritte Bar & Terrace. This tastefully decorated American-style bar is the perfect setting for allowing our imaginations to run wild and acquire a feel for what it may have been like during the prohibition period.

Without going too far, le Magritte presents a speakeasy theme. There are some wonderful pieces of artwork and photographs hanging from the walnut-panelled interior providing many a conversation point. Beyond the bar, there is a fabulous covered terrace with views stretching out across Brown Hart Gardens. Here we can enjoy breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, cocktails, cigars and more.
