The Player

Trends come & go, but this lively late-night den for Mad Men types demonstrates why classics are always in fashion. Pop-bitches, urban junkies, Harpies & Queens are the sort of style monkeys who pile in here. To the mesmerising thump of a King’s Cross loft/Ibiza villa-party soundtrack, they sink wine from £18, Proof pilsen & cocktails from £6.50 – perhaps dry daiquiri & super-girly Miss Martin (vodka, Chambord, raspberry & cream). Other mixes, including rye & port cobblers come in economy (£7), business (£9) or first-class (£11) options, depending on whether you’re settling for Pikesville, Rittenhouse 100 or top shout Pappy Van Winkle 13 Year Old. Membership (£200) isn’t strictly necessary, but might be useful – it will also get you into neighbouring venue Milk & Honey.
