Zuma (bar)

Zuma’s 40-strong list of sakés is an irresistibly exotic pull at this funky, self-assured bar fronting the mega-watt restaurant. Choose hot, warm or ice-cold styles, plus limited-edition & speciality pours; a dedicated saké sommelier is on-hand with recommendations for novices. Alternatively, live it up with a Japanese-inspired cocktail or two: house shakes include the rubabu (a blend of rhubarb-infused daiginjo saké, vodka & fresh passion fruit) & Zuma’s saké-laced apricot bellini. The cool, slick vibe of the celeb dining room carries through to the bar, which gets crowded with pre-dinner revellers & fancy-pants locals hoping to spot a famous face or two. Do some star-spotting while you wait for your table, or relax in the neutral tones of the lounge for a night of serious socialising at off-the-scale prices.
