The vibey Be At One Covent Garden on Russell Street is one of Be At One’s most popular bars, offering late night opening hours into the early morning. Whether you’re there for pre-theatre drinks before you head to the West End, taking advantage of happy hour with pre-drinks before the club or just there to have a good time, the Covent Garden bar will serve up your choice of poison until the cows come home (or more specifically, 3am).
The intimate bar features blue and purple neon lights around above the leather couches that line the walls. The bar itself is a traditional wooden-topped vintage-inspired counter with hidden accents of colour where you can sit and sip or line up the shooters. Open from 3pm until 3am on most days, Be At One is your go-to dance spot and watering hole for a night out on London Town. If you don’t feel up to fighting the crowds, you can even order your favourite cocktails on the UberEats app to be delivered to your door.
Sip pretty while slurping up one of the cocktail list’s signature mixes, such as the Russian Spring Punch, an icy mix of vodka, blackcurrant liqueur, lemon and finished with a swig of Champagne, or for a whisky-based treat, taste the Blood and Sand, shaking sweet vermouth, orange, and cherry liqueur with 12 year old Scotch. If you’re staying away from booze, try the alcohol-free Botanical Garden, shaken with cloudy apple juice, Seedlip Garden 108, egg white, sugar and lemon.
As this is one the top party spots in the Big Smoke, you can expect entry fees from Thursday to Saturday after 9pm. If you’re there earlier, enjoy the 2-4-1 happy hour specials on cocktails, spirits and mixers from 3-7pm every day. If you download the Be At One app, you can also score a few extra freebies, drinks specials and see the cocktail list with pictures and ingredient descriptions to make ordering your next happy hour drink quick and painless.
