This is my new favourite bar in London! Very chilled out vibe and decor, very cool music (lots of underground hip hop, breakbeats, electronica, but I think they'll play just about anything you ask for!), great cocktails. An elusive mix that's proved harder to find than it should be in London.

I've been to Low Life plenty of times and I love it!!! The staff is really cool and friendly. If you are looking for a place to have a drink in a nice atmosphere with great cocktails, don’t look further, this is the place where you can come after work or Friday night. Really can recommend it to anyone.

The guy who runs Low Life is a complete legend called James. I've never met a mixologist like him. He's inspired. He has an uncanny ability to know exactly what you want even though you haven't got a clue yourself.

You can walk in on a Thursday after a long slog at work and he will greet you with open arms and enthusiastically make you a drink he's been working on for the last 2 weeks that no one else has tried and it will be perfect.

He even invented a new way of drinking tequila which is to eat a grape before you take your shot of Sausa and then have another one after... Sauza Grapes. It makes a brilliant alternative to the ubiquitous lemon and salt.

The bar itelf is below street level with quite a few nooks and crannies. It's a great place for private parties - they serve a range of snacks and small plates of food to share.

But it's all about the cocktails. The guy and the rest of his staff and insanely talented and couldn't be more charming.
