DIRTY MARTINI

I've been feeling quite sick of the club scene lately and much more into bars - chilled out vibe, less sleazeballs, delicious drinks and good music...much more my taste.

On Wednesday evening a friend & I hit up Dirty Martini, a lovely "underground" bar in Covent Garden.

PROS: Drinks are delicious, prices are excellent, music is good.
CONS: not very spacious, a little overcrowded (not enough seating to handle its popularity!)



We had a martini each to begin with:



Passionfruit and Finlandia vodka.



Raspberry & apple and Finlandia vodka.

Then asked the bartender to surprise us with a whiskey-based drink:




Blueberry, lemongrass and Jim Beam whiskey.

Wednesday night is great - 2 identical martinis for a mere 8 pounds. Which explains why the place was so busy at 10pm in the middle of the week. They have these "Dirty by Design" slips you fill out by checking off what alcoholic base, mixers and even type of glass you want your drink served in. Fun!
