Put the words ‘understated’, ‘slick’ and ‘unpretentious’ together and you get Kumo. Avoiding the usual Knightsbridge snobbery, this cosy basement bar offers an escape from the sometimes uptight bars its surrounded by but without compromise, combining sleek interiors together with sublime cocktails for an all round great experience.
Tasty sushi dishes ranging from, grilled asparagus with soy, avocado and mushroom sushi to more elegant dishes including scallops, make for an interesting menu and work well with the ample and skilled cocktail list.
The night we visited was for my husband's 30th birthday party and we were enthralled with the ambient music (which later gets a little louder to the sound of club classics, house and RnB courtesy of a DJ -but thankfully not to deafening or conversation killing levels) and the friendly, professional staff, which all helped tick the boxes for a stylish yet no-nonsense night out.
