Your review is spot on! Fantastic little escape from the hoohah of Covent Garden with, in my opinion, some of Central London’s best cocktails! Definitely worth a visit for anyone who hasn’t been there.

Only problem is, as you say, ‘one more’ has a tendancy of becoming 2, and 3 and 4…

I popped in on Friday for a last drink before going home, and while Brian wasn’t in I got an excellent martini and the rest of the table seemed pleased with their drinks. I need to pop back sometime with a smaller group (ie. just me) so I can have a sit at the bar and watch what’s going on.

The restaurant is also still on my “to visit” list…

Totally agree with your view – Brian is great! Met him first years ago when he headed up the Home House bar (and it was sad to lose him). Have had delicious bar snacks at Rules, accompanying superb cocktails! The Golden Negroni is a star…

Couldn’t agree more – Brian is a superstar and the bar is a wonderful cocoon away from the insanity of London and its overpriced, watered-down dross.

I second your restaurant plug – I had grouse there at the start of the season and it was absolutely stunning, I’ll be going back in a couple of months without a shadow of a doubt. In fact, we had pre-prandials in the bar then returned to a grinning Brian and a (few) rounds of digestifs and a lovely cheese plate to round off everything.

Brilliant restaurant, superlative bar, a true great.
