Hix Bar - Drinks in Soho, London
The Hix Bar on Brewer St is an ecclectic hideaway with a speakeasy feel. A perfect way to ignore the January Blues. My superb Avenue cocktail was conjured up expertly by the friendly and sexy in-house mixologist team. Our lovely Brazilian waitress Claudia took great care of us throughout the evening; finding us a new home when we complained of a draught and plied us with lovely foodie freebies such as Finnan haddock cakes with horseradish cream and posh pork scratchings with apple sauce to make things up to us. We also ordered off-menu (a request from a memorable previous experience) a roasted marrow bone with a herbed bread crumb topping. January diets are so 2009.
