I've been staying in halls at UCL for the summer on a study placement from New York University.

I find the bar culture in London a bit different to the NYC scene, with the emphasis more on cheap booze and getting wasted.

Some of the cocktails I've tried in London have been amazing though - but very expensive too - my wallet doesn't stretch to The Sanderson and the Mandarin Oriental every weekend!

So when my friend told me about this place I had to check it out. I was looking forward to the student discount on the cocktails, but I wasn't really expecting all that much to be honest.

Boy was I happy to be wrong! The house cocktails were just £4 each, but they were as good as anything I've had in NYC or London. Plus the bartender who was serving me was able to make all kinds of other stuff that wasn't on the menu too.

The atmosphere is nice and relaxed and it's really close to my halls too. Basically a really friendly place to hang out and try some amazing cocktails for next to nothing.

I'll be letting everyone at NYU know this is an essential place to frequent when in London.
