Barbican Life : The Localist

The Localist is a larger bistro and lounge bar, restaurant and cocktail bar on St John Street on the right hand side as you walk up the road from Smithfield Market, about 50m past the Michelin starred St John.

Because of its size, the venue can be all things to all guests and is cleverly zoned; visitors can be seated in the very comfortable chairs in the main restaurant or in the cozy lounge bar, or they can be outside or at the bar; we sat in an imtimate room with only 5 or so tables but merely 3 steps and a curtain away there was a very lively party going on in the larger lounge-bar next door.

Type of Bar: Speakeasy, Basement, Tiny, Jazz Damage: ££ Ideal for: Live Music, Small Groups, Juleps   Kansas Smitty’s ‘puts the danger back in jazz’ with their new Jazz n Julep bar at Broadway Market!

Four of the 8 Juleps use sweeter Four Roses Bourbon, and the mint is used just right, and not abused the way it is in many bars.

One such heavy drink being the Jesuit’s Bark – Mt. Gay rum, clove, pimento, lime, grapefruit peel, quinine cordial and mint.

Another one of these ‘flavour specialty’ Juleps is the Scarborough: Bourbon, parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, toasted almond, salted heather honey and mint.

London was long due a bar like Kansas Smitty’s – revolutionising Juleps with a deft hand, and masterfully thought out recipes, bringing back a more relaxed atmosphere to cocktail bars, and finding that great mid-space between gig-venue and cocktails.
