Smiths isn't really a cocktail bar IIRC. Cocktails at the Marriot (aka the old County Hall) aren't unbelievably expensive. For true geekdom go get cocktails go to Cynthia's Cyberbar http://www.cynbar.co.uk/ where you are served cocktails by a robot. As opposed to being served coffee by a drone at Starbucks.

Dunno about Sun afternoon opening on all those... The ICA bar is certainly open on Sunday afternoon, but will be serving more coffee than cocktails.

Smiths isn't really a cocktail bar IIRC. Cocktails on the first floor there aren't bad. If you like an impressive view but condescending service, try Bar 24 in Tower 42 (ie Natwest). Otherwise I go with the Match recommendation. jp

I cannot recommend the ICA enough for cocktails, on many scouting trips before and after (don't ask why i need to scout afterwards) Y::E191c i had a variety of cocktails and they were all very very good. However the best place to get margharitas[1] is the argentinian steak bar called `gaucho grill', if anyone wants to leave early from the next social meeting to go there let me know and i'll book a table - its the best steak in the UK, beautiful rare, awesome chips with, very very nice indeed - never get the small steak as you will kick yourself when you taste it [1] i have no idea to spell them, all the letters seem to jumble together after a few of said drink -- Greg McCarroll http://www.mccarroll.uklinux.net

The bar isn't terribly large (at least not in the one off Regent's Stree), but the cocktails are *lovely* and the steak *gorgeous*. The theme is a bit, errr, loud (cow-style seats etc.) and it's fairly dark (err, intimate), but it's a lovely (not cheap) place.
