The Lucky Pig

Happy is the imbiber who waters at this trough, one of London's more plausible speakeasies in a quarter that's not exactly stoked with ‘cred' cocktail joints. Appealingly done out like a seedy Prohibition-era joint, Lucky Pig’s chaises longues and cushion-strewn, curtained-off vaults are perfect for a spot of canoodling, while weekends bring the live sounds of red-hot mamas, be-bop cats, Brylcreem-slick balladeers and rollicking DJ sets. To drink, order retro ‘giggle water’ (Sidecar or French Martini), or modern mixes dreamed up with the Fitzrovia and Marylebone mob in mind: Bullet Proof, Luciano Sour and Fingers Crossed (Zacapa 23 rum, Mozart chocolate liqueur, Pimento Dram rum-based liqueur, Coco Pops milk and Aztec bitters). For solid fuel, pick at pizzas, cheeses or a charcuterie platter – not such a lucky pig after all.

A vibrant and lively cocktail bar in the heart of Fitzrovia, The Lucky Pig is bringing the 1920s back to life with this underground experience. Step right off the street and down a staircase leading to its basement bar. With nods to the era, The Lucky Pig is decked out with vintage style armchairs and sofas, old trunks instead of tables and a collection of retro decor such as typewriters which line the shelves. With peeling paint and wonky framed photos, it's got a real sense of character and creates a welcoming environment where you can unwind and drink in style. 

A wide, open space but with limited availability you'll enjoy an intimate experience whether you're sitting at the countertop bar, relaxing on a chaise lounge or seated in one of the booths hidden away behind a red velvet curtain. You’ll be thrown back in time as you sip on a collection of specially curated cocktails. An extensive cocktail menu features a selection of signature drinks, putting twists on some of the classics. Sample the burlesque old fashioned - complete with apple, cinnamon and cardamom syrup - or the Jaffa Cake - a rum based cocktail served with chocolate, coffee and orange liqueurs. There are also a number of sober alternatives made using Lyre's alcohol free spirits and even a changing seasonal menu - so be sure to keep an eye out.

It's not just cocktails though - although that is the main focus. Tuck into a selection of nibbles as well as a classic cheese and mixed sharing platters and a selection of homemade pizzas, giving you something to snack on whilst you enjoy your evening.

And with live music available during the evenings, as well as resident DJs who play every weekend, you'll really be able to let loose and dance the night away.
