Akbar (Soho - London)

Akbar

Akbar is hard to find even in this metropolis of assorted bars and if you do find it, it can be a blessing for early drinks if your out of an evening. Its essentially a very chilled out morrocan bar with warm lighting from flickering candeles, aromas of vanilla with light bassy music and alcoves of underground-shelter style seating which makes for a very communal and strangely comfortable experience. The drinks seem to be overpriced but the quality if quite unmatched by anything nearby and the bar will often bring the drink out to you. Better still are the non-alcoholic cocktails which blew my mind with natural yogurts and fruit extracts. This place also attracts Djs later on and although it is on the small size it is a wonderful experience.

Overall a very beautiful place possibley to bring a date before a night of passion, so prep your wallet for a night that is not only high in quality but strong in value and hits each of the senses lightly but memorabley. 8/10
