Happy Hours - Central London

Have been trying to hunt down some good, but not too pricey bars/pubs in Central London - and thought it might be worth starting a thread to compile in one spot some good happy hours that are taking place in Central London bars/pubs.

2 good ones I know of are:
Thirst Bar, Soho - half price cocktails Mon-Thurs. 5pm-7:30pm
Guanabara, Covent Garden, £3.20 cocktails - Mon-Fri. 5pm - 7pm.

Anyone know any other good drink deals at the moment?

    I used to drink in this Wetherspoons one:

    The Montagu Pyke
    105–107 Charing Cross Road
    also at: 20 Greek Street
    West End
    London
    WC2H 0BP

    It was cheap enough anyway, but used to cut out the vouchers in the Magazines :)
    I know my spelling is shocking :eek: It is alot better than it used to be though :rotfl:

    http://www.dirtymartini.uk.com/london/cocktailbar/happyhour.asp is lovely. Quite pricey for happy hour still at £5 a cocktail but they are really, really nice ones. I'm off there tonight as I need in Outlaw rant!

    Also the Roadhouse is good, and I think they do Happy Hour on Food. And Maxwells which is outside Covent Garden Station.

    i love happy hour at maxwells in covent garden

    it's 30 seconds from the tube station

    all cocktails are £3.95 5pm-8pm including the champagne cocktails which should around £9 (they're all yummy)

    they also do good pre theatre menus i think it's 3 courses for £10 at mo but not 100% sure

    hmmm lol maybe give them a call and check?

    we go there a lot... lol

    always been 5-8 for me! -

    it's great because table service starts at 5 so you just get the bill at the end

    it gets busy quickly so try to get there for 5 or ten to if possible- the restaurant has seperate tables but they also have standard bar food

    i agree with peaz about dirty martini, lovely bar, the walls are bare stone with lots of little alcoves

    I've looked at their menu and on the front of that is says between 5.00 and 8.00, so their website must be wrong, lol.

    I am going to try there this Sunday, I like the look of the liquorice allsort cocktail.

    The latenightlondon venues had 50% off in Jan. That was great - given they're largely overpriced at full price.

    Anyone know of any larger deals?

    One of my favourites is Tamesa, at the OXO Tower.

    I think it's 5.30 - 7.30 but it's about then - small selection of cocktails £4, bottled beer £2, and bottles of house wine £10. Not the cheapest of Happy Hours, but I think a bargain for the location.
