Hawksmoor Air Street Bar - review
The buzz: steak behemoth Hawksmoor has a bar at the fourth outpost on Air Street — a new destination for world-class cocktails.
The deal: it’s a beautiful Art Deco bar but it still feels like a precursor to supper at the restaurant rather than your final stop — this might well change with the new bar snack menu. Cocktails are, as always at Hawksmoor, first class and not too bank-breaking at £8-£10.
Good for: A pre-dinner aperitif
Order: the Champagne Charlie was our outstanding favourite: gin, lemon and homemade seasonal fruit syrup (delicious blood orange in our case), charged with the bubbly stuff — fresh, sweet and a little decadent. Don’t miss the fried queenies.
By the way: you can just walk in, but by the end of the week it’s best to book.
Find it: 5a Air Street, W1 (thehawksmoor.com).
