The Drunk Geeks went on to visit a fine cocktail establishment called Hide Bar near London Bridge. Surprised that there was still a great bar we had not visited yet in that area. Rather to our embarassment we found.
The bar was a professional cocktail establishment with a quirky 70's prefab ceiling and a dedication to quality drinks ranging from cocktails (hurr durr) to freshly ground organic coffee. The food was tasty and varied. We definitely recommend the Saffron and chorizo arancini and the goat's cheese and spinach in filo pastry. Om nom nom...
The staff seemed well-trained and eager to help a customer in finding a drink, or varying the recipe to his need. We were served by the delightful charming Nastasia and the skillful quirky Sam.
Sam was a highly skilled and stylish. Shaking and pouring our drinks with a superb dexterity. He made us a Death in the Afternoon, and an Old-Fashioned.Nastasia was helpful, humble and rather well-skilled at finding our ideal cocktails, coming up with a Blood & Sand and a great smoky mezcal & Campari.If you ask us, they were the Yin and Yang of a rather perfectionist cocktail evening
Our top drinks were:
- A chili-infused raspberry martini
Codename B: You taste the fruity and sweet raspberries first and then immediately that fiery kick of chili that fuses almost seamlessly with the vodka.
Codename T: A simply amazing cocktail
- Death in the Afternoon:
Codename T: My poison of choice, good choice to go for the narrow glass
- Old-fashioned:
Codename B: I love that sweet bourbon with the fresh zest of that grapefuit. Great adaptation Sam!
And with that, Codename Bourbon signing off
