Lily Blacks

Lily Blacks' barflies recline in her warm and elegant interior, which is scattered with authentic art deco lamps and original fixtures. Beautiful dark wooden panelling has been used to create a comfortable hub-style bar with plenty of stools to prop on and have a yarn. Beyond the bar drinkers can venture into the lounge and enjoy a superbly well-made cocktail.

From the list of tried-and-tested classics, cocktail sippers can try a mint julep, a sidecar or a cracking martini. There is quality St Arnou beer on tap, and a wine list with choices from both new and old worlds. The bar snacks are also a notch above the standard chips-and-dip fare; sample a platter of three French cheeses, some pate or a charcuterie plate.
