"Squirrelled away above The Running Horse, the oldest pub in Mayfair, is a speakeasy style, Kentucky Derby themed cocktail bar. There's a shabby chic mix of interesting and comfy furniture and brightly coloured jockey silks adorn the walls. The staff here really know their stuff, they are walking menus, very professional, warm and friendly and clearly love what they do. The signature cocktails are the juleps which are served in metal julep cups with metal strainers instead of straws. A really original serving of a classic drink made very, very well. Food is southern style bar bites, beautifully presented. The menu includes gems like deep fried pickles and shrimp and grits. This is a great place for a party it's fun, friendly and the food and drink is fantastic. I've been here with friends, for big parties, taken clients here and been for a romantic evening with my husband. I've even felt comfortable enough to pop in for a sneaky julep on my own after shopping. It fits the bill every time!"
