Atrium Bar, Nomad London, Covent Garden

Nomad is a New York-style hotel in the middle of the city, with a sense of theaters and bars to match. The Atrium bar, on the other hand, is hidden beneath the spiral staircase, a curving Deco-glam creation with pink tasseled bar seats that overlook the restaurant and its three-story atrium.

The Atrium’s list has several favorite NoMad cocktails, tried and tested over the years. The Walter Gibson is a twist on the traditional, made with Viognier and pear eau de vie, and served with pickled vegetables on the side; the Atrium's Hot Lips is a Margarita-style kiss of tequila and mezcal with jalapeno. The Dirty Martini is a salty kick served from the bottle, with white balsamic and various vermouths in the mix; the Espresso Martini adds whey and aquavit to cold-brew caffeine – and there are numerous traditional names here as well.
