Keeping track of all the best bars in a big city like London can be a daunting task, to say the least. With new bars popping up every week it’s hard to know what’s hot and what’s not. That’s why we’ve created a list of classic bars that you can’t go wrong with, so you can spend your time bar hopping with your mates instead (You can buy us a drink later). Our top picks include everything from rooftop bars to luxury cocktail bars. In the mood for a beer? Check out Pergola Paddington. Want to experience a garden in the sky? Head to Sky Garden. Whatever you look for in a bar, we’ve found it.

This luxurious rooftop bar and restaurant is an absolute must-see when bar hopping in London. Located right next to St. Paul’s Cathedral, old meets new with Madison’s modern décor.

Imagine having drinks in the middle of a vibrant jungle whilst still enjoying the view of the city. It almost sounds too good to be true, right? The Sky Garden is literally a garden in the sky, full of beautiful tropical plants in an all-glass building that overlooks the London skyline, making it possible to enjoy the tropics and city life at the same time – another bar for a group of men who lead a variety of different lifestyles. Here you can enjoy landscaped gardens, an open-air terrace, observation decks, and a 360-degree view no matter where you find yourself. 4. The Rooftop

The Rooftop opposite Trafalgar Square is taking its inspiration from northern Europe and the natural illumination phenomena known as the Northern Lights this winter. The Northern Lights at The Rooftop is one for those with wanderlust and a love of exclusive, one-off events. As part of The Northern Lights at The Rooftop, the bar will be holding an intimate Aurora light show for your very own mini-Northern Light display. If you do go, the best time to visit is during golden hour. Because of the bar’s position, you’ll be able to see a magnificent fiery hue along London’s skyline, but be sure to make a reservation as it’s the place to be to watch a stunning sunset this winter and spaces are limited. 5.

Opium is a Shanghai-themed cocktail bar and dim sum parlor with a 1920s atmosphere. The venue is split across two floors with three Oriental-themed bars, so you get a bunch of bars within a bar. The Opium starts with their Academy Bar located on the top floor and is split into two sections. Once you enter the Academy Bar, you can sit down and eat at their dim sum section. Go a little further and you’ll find yourself in The Attic. This is where they have a comfy vibe featuring coffee tables, sofa seating, and little booths. Ready for a little more? Walk further into The Opium and you will find their signature bar table, which is as long as the eye can see. Here you can sit around their large stretch bar and watch bartenders perform. 15.

Murder Inc. Cocktails’ motto is “murder a drink” (which we all feel like doing more than we care to admit), something it has become quite famous for. They’re constantly updating their menu to include crazy, but delicious, combinations you can’t get anywhere else. We recommend the S-ex Machine, UFO (Unidentified French Object), and The Holidays Ain’t Coming.

Considering the flavors of these may change again before you step foot through the door, it’s up to you to discover what makes them one-of-a-kind. The dark atmosphere will allow you to live out your dream of being a detective and grabbing a drink after witnessing a crime and give you and the guys plenty to talk about for the rest of the evening as you try to discover what went down.

Known as an oasis of warmth, mystery, and magic, this is where those with an adventurous spirit can disconnect from the outside world. As you enter, you will be greeted by wild forest wallpaper and dimly lit lights.

The entire room looks like a jungle ready for a wild animal to enter (aka your alter ego). The purpose of Oriole Bar is to awaken desire and spark delight, which we can certainly vouch for with their menu that you’ll want to try front to back.

The Green Bar at Hotel Cafe Royal is known as a celebration of cocktails and mixology since 1865, so they must be doing something right. The Green Bar cocktail list is described as an invitation to explore unique tastes in the form of spirits and food, expanding over 100 years old (because yes, alcohol was still as good back then).

This bar is full of history and has made history itself as some of the world’s most famous vodka recipes were first recorded at this very bar, so trying their vodka is a no-brainer. Try your favorite classic drink the way it was meant to be.

If you’re up for luxury and a private experience, check out the American Bar at The Savoy. This bar holds events and cocktail experiences where legendary bartenders perform mixology right in front of you. Currently on their menu is a selection of 15 elegant drinks designed by their current bartender.

Besides its taste for classics, this bar is timeless itself. The American Bar first opened in 1893 and is one of the oldest cocktail bars in Britain, so it’s basically a museum for cocktails with a display that you can touch.

Step into another world with a drink created from the 1920’s pre-prohibition era. Red carpets fill the room and gold chandeliers hang from the ceiling. The Connaught Bar features three menus; their signature menu full of classics, a Formae menu which is known for its multi-dimensional cocktails, and a menu called “Of the Moment” which is full of limited specialties – a must-try before they disappear again. If this isn’t exciting already, The Connaught Bar also offers an in-house distilled gin, which just came out this year and you can be one of the first to drink.

Opium is a Shanghai-themed cocktail bar and dim sum parlor with a 1920s atmosphere. The venue is split across two floors with three Oriental-themed bars, so you get a bunch of bars within a bar. The Opium starts with their Academy Bar located on the top floor and is split into two sections. Once you enter the Academy Bar, you can sit down and eat at their dim sum section.

Go a little further and you’ll find yourself in The Attic. This is where they have a comfy vibe featuring coffee tables, sofa seating, and little booths. Ready for a little more? Walk further into The Opium and you will find their signature bar table, which is as long as the eye can see. Here you can sit around their large stretch bar and watch bartenders perform.

Mr. Fogg’s is the home of the famed adventurer Phileas J. Foggs. The atmosphere is quirky, with a carnival feel that has been mixed with the 1920s. It was designed by Mr. Fogg himself and features artifacts and antiques collected from his travels around the globe. Here you can enjoy a large selection of rare spirits from all over the world, so you too can be an explorer for the night. This secret floral oasis is tucked away in the back streets of Mayfair, so your private event can feel as it should, private.
