Charming Cocktails in Elegant London Oasis

Stepping into the refined yet cosily concealed cocktail haven inside Fortnum & Mason felt like unearthing a precious secret amid London's perpetual bustle. Such is the charm of 3'6, a cocktail bar that seems to have been designed with the introspective allure of an intimate secret supper club in mind. Tucked away from the throngs of fervent shoppers, it lures you in with a promise of serenity and subtly artful libations. The decor, with its crisply-lined elegance and muted lighting, casts a warm invitation, complemented by the soft hum of layered jazz that seems to tailor itself seamlessly to every sip.

Every visit felt like being welcomed into a familial embrace—the staff navigates the floor with the quiet confidence of actors well-rehearsed in their parts, never faltering in their hospitality. Special mention must be made of Valeria, whose deft orchestrations in ensuring guests feel both noticed and pampered are nothing short of masterful. But let us not overlook what draws most guests back, day after day—the cocktails. Crafted with almost ceremonious flair, each drink captured not just flavors but tales—a delightful scotch egg here, a personal cocktail creation experience there. And while the tea selection might merit an augmentation, this small whisper amidst a chorus of praises hardly distracts from the impeccable service and effusive warmth that seems embedded in every corner of this enchanting enclave. — Clarissa Cuisinier
