This smart basement watering hole manages to fuse romance and business in one hit. Sink into a comfy stool at the hypnotic bar for the best vantage point to keep an eye on London-trained head barman Ludovico De Biaggi and team. Some cocktails, such as the bottled Negroni, are designed for sharing: Penicillin, for example, made from Scotch, ginger and lemon, is wholly curative. Attentive service ensures the after-work crowd morphs into diners.
