Fort Point Beer Company – Valencia
We were running errands on Valencia and I’ve been interested in going here since I already know I like their beer. We went with a flight of 6. I wanted to do all the limited edition beers on the menu, but of course those were all sold out already. They did have one other one,…

Chase Sapphire Lounge in BOS
This was my first opportunity to try a Chase Sapphire Lounge having not previously travelled to an airport with one of them. Lounge is located between B and C terminals which worked out perfectly since I was flying United in terminal C and Bella and Matthias were flying JetBlue in terminal C. TL;DR this is…

True Laurel
We’ve driven by here a billion times (ok, that’s a little bit of an exaggeration, maybe only a million times) and I’ve been meaning to go here all that time. This cocktail bar is created by the folks behind Lazy Bear and is currently listed #30 on the World’s 50 Best Bars along with numerous…

Hazie’s
Our dinner at Dumpling Home was so quick, we decided to go to Hazie’s for some after dinner drinks since it was on our way back to our car and it looked quite nice from the previous times we’ve walked by it. Also, I had been reading about this new restaurant app, Blackbird, and this…

Searcys Brasserie & Champagne Bar
Trisha took us the St. Pancras International station, not to catch an international train, but do a bit of shopping and sight seeing in the nearby area. We had just finished watching Season 4 of Slow Horses where most of the action took place in the surrounding area, in this station, and at this champagne…

Baccarat Bar at Harrods
We were getting thirsty from all of our shopping so we dropped in to the Baccarat Bar. We all had various types of martinis. Andrea had a one with olives, Trisha with a lemon twist, and I ordered the Greyscale which had apple eud-de-vie and cider curry leaf vermouth. A nice refreshing break, for sure!…

The Holly Bush
Andrea and I walked around a bit Hampstead and wanted to go to a pub. So we went to The Holly Bush (which we would later see it shown briefly in Notting Hill when we rewatched it). The bar was packed, but we lucked out and ended up in this little nook in the bar.…

42
Gynkhana notified me via e-mail that they also had a cocktail lounge that we could book before or after our dinner. We didn’t want to deal with the NYE crowd afterward, so we made a reservation for before our dinner. We arrived just a few minutes before our reservation and the staff hadn’t quite finished…

Coach & Horses
This was a place Trisha had wanted to try, so we did! I had the Monkey 47 (gin, lavender and cranberry) and Trisha and Andrea had the Grey Goose and soda. The drinks were very weak (i.e. couldn’t taste much alcohol), but Trisha explained that the liquor was served in 25ml amounts. In any case,…

The Rivoli Bar at the Ritz London
For our first outing here in London, we took the tube to Mayfair and walked around there a bit. We eventually got “thirsty” and stopped in at the Ritz to grab a drink at their bar. Quite a few people at the Ritz were dressed up and here for afternoon tea. Trisha ordered the Serenity…
