Bermondsey Arts Club (Bermondsey)

• 'Old Negroni' was delicious but boy was the martini something to go back
• Bermondsey Arts Club is a fantastic little cocktail bar with big ideas
• This new menu really is worth shouting about
• We started with Milo's Coupe des Garcons which arrived dressed in black tie (or a napkin
• Elsewhere on his list is the playful
• Rum laced Jerk My Swag served with a cocktail umbrella
• The maritime Poseidon's Reserve complete with oyster leaf akvavit
• The show stopper is Three Wise Taylors 10yr Port &
• Brokers Gin combine with sugar and festive gold
• Myrrh bitters in a sake box garnished with an incense stick
• Both Darjeeling Un Limited and Grappa's Delight will appeal to Brits with their tea twists
• Compass Box Asyla needs no tweaking but darjeeling infusion works well here along with a dash of Yellow Chartreuse which is set alight before being plunged in to Jake's take on a whisky sour
• Infusing it with Camomile and chucking in some Green Tea Ice Cream is a good place to start
• Phra Phum (meaning spirit house not that kind) is an acquired taste (Ella acquired it instantly)
• Jupiter Rising is right up my street all booze
• No one could take issue with A Little R&
• Unless you are one of those bizarre cardamom haters I guess
• The prices are very competitive with drinks coming in under £
• Bermondsey Arts Club is open 6pm 2am Tuesday Saturday
• He gave us advance notice about the place but it was not enough
• We had to sit with other people
• It was really crowded and we were not able to talk
• My friends thought it was an original idea
• It was very busy but i suppose that is to be expected with such a mischievously creative list and the obvious 2am closing
• Even though it was busy there was enough room to move and after perching at the bar we were sat at the first free table
• Well in a nutshell one its a alcoholic '99' ice cream another is Christmas in a glass both very very good
• The bartender who I think was the manager (only one wearing black) also took the time to run through the idea of each drink with a quick background of its ingredients
• The only thing to give the game away is a rather muscly bouncer standing at the entrance looking rather conspicuous and just a little bit intimidating
• Ll find a menu attached to the railings adorned with the insignia BAC &ndash
• This cool den of debauchery is one of many to take advantage of the attractive Victorian railings and fine marble clad cubicle separators from the lavs of yore (they don&rsquo
• Cucumber and mint) is served tall and decorated with sprigs of fresh mint and large slices of cucumber
• Guava molasses and vanilla marshmallow syrup) which comes garnished with two caramelised marshmallows &ndash
• Our first little jaunt presented us with the exciting opportunity to taste the winter cocktail menu
• (I say 'first' because we went back within a week since it was THAT good)
• Remember that this iron ex public toilety entrance on Tower Bridge Road is exactly what to keep your eyes peeled for but then your lips sealed
• Three Wise was a combination of port
• Served in a sake box with extra smokey whisps
• It's not all about the show however (although that is undeniably excellent)
• Milo and Jake) have hand crafted each of their cocktails with a personality and twist that shows both in the taste and the presentation
• Wrapped in a black tie napkin jacket with a distinctly Comme de Garcon scent
• This time from Adam was the inspired Phra Phum which combined House Thai Gin (a crazy mix of ginger
• I guess liquid stir fry doesn't sound all that appealing but I was on it like a gin and tonic
• Walking down the stairs into the bar is a real pleasure
• A DJ spinning their decks or a host showing you to a table this is one of those truly special places that's hard to replicate
• Staff were overwhelmed with a large party I had to wait 40minutes for a drink after being told that it was table service only
• I was very disappointed to find that the bar was 'card only'
• Can I ask why I was charged extra when this was the only method of payment
