London, a city that effortlessly exudes a cool vibe, is home to some truly fantastic bars. Today, I'm introducing you to some seriously hip spots that real Londoners frequent.
01. Sky Garden's Pod Bar
Honestly, there's no place hotter in London right now. By day, Sky Garden is a restaurant, but by night, it transforms into a vibrant bar with an even more stunning atmosphere. There's no entrance fee, which means you can enjoy breathtaking views of the London skyline without having to order expensive drinks. This is the best spot to catch a glimpse of The Shard. When night falls, the Pod Bar is bathed in a romantic pink hue. Enjoy the stunning views and a wide selection of cocktails, wines, and whiskies for a glamorous London night out.

02. MBER
Though not large, MBER has a cozy, speakeasy vibe, and it's still a hidden gem yet to be discovered by many Korean tourists. It's a real Londoner's bar. They serve Asian-inspired cuisine alongside a wide variety of cocktails and whiskies, and everything from the ambiance to the food is top-notch. The menu features many healthy, vegetarian-based options, including creative dishes made with 12 different vegetables. Enjoy a few small dishes alongside your whisky.

03. Savage Garden
Next up is Savage Garden, located on the 12th floor of the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel. It's famous for its stunning views, offering a clear sightline to Tower Bridge and the Tower of London. There's also a separate terrace where you can sip your drinks while gazing at The Shard. You might expect hotel prices, but it is quite reasonable. Cocktails are around 16 euros (approximately $17).

Finally, a must-visit bar in London: The Connaught Bar. It was crowned the World's Best Bar in 2021 by the prestigious World's 50 Best Bars. They offer an impressive selection of unique cocktails you won't find anywhere else. Make sure to try their signature cocktail, "The Connaught." If you're lucky, you might even have your cocktail crafted by London's top bartender, Agostino Perrone. The interior is dimly lit but warm, and the service is beyond exceptional. It's located on the ground floor of The Connaught Hotel in London.
