Back Street Bars In Covent Garden
Earlham Street Clubhouse
By far, the best feature of this bar is the ‘Secret DJ’ app that allows punters to pick the soundtrack of the night anonymously. This means, you can pick the cheesiest song ever and no-one will ever know it’s you. This bar is definitely full of character, with lots of quirky little gimmicks that will get you slightly overexcited. One being the drinks reach you via a vintage gas pump, serving the perfect pint straight to your table. The retro memorabilia and vintage style diner is one of the coolest places to go in Covent Garden. Step away from the generic watering holes and start having more than just a drink.

Rules Cocktail Bar
Step out of the overflowing beer gardens of London and venture down into an exclusive bar in the heart of the capital. If you’re a bit of a cocktail connoisseur, then it’s well worth finding this bar and sipping of a carefully crafted masterpiece. This charming, refined and elegant venue is a classic British take on the gentlemen’s club. Don’t get confused with the Rules restaurant, this bar is above the restaurant, completely separate and can be accessed through a door, without signage n the right of the restaurant entrance.

Cellar Door
Generally, you wouldn’t find an old public toilet to be an ideal place to grab a drink and settle in for a night of entertainment, but with at Cellar Door you’re going to have to overlook this minor detail. Adding to the authenticity of the place, this unusual venue can be found if you follow the giant neon arrow pointing to a garish basement. Down there you’ll find performances from drag acts and cabaret singers, where you can wash it all down with one of their seductive cocktails. Being underneath the hustle and bustle of London town, they sell Snuff behind the bar, so that will ease the cravings of smokers, so they can spend more time enjoying all the fun.
