gonna be around chelsea and hankering for a drink this weekend? (like that's even a question.) pass your usual haunts and stop at the recently opened bar bartique.
who's behind it? mike filpi (the man who put eclipse-ignite group, boujis nightclub and cocoon on the map), so you know it's guaranteed to be a good time. or at least some choice drinks. skip the pint and go native with newbies like "tique beach," a blend of vodka, watermelon and peach muddled with vanilla sugar, lemon and lychee. if late afternoon noshing is more your thing, then sample japanese treats like edamame, meat gyoza and black tiger prawn tempura. on a budget? save the pounds for the cocktails and hit up bartique during the early evening when the worldy bites are served up. for free. you could use the extra loot to splurge on a ling li-ni lychee champagne cocktail to wash it all down. the look? muted creams and browns and plenty of sofas for lounging.
they say it's small. you say it's perfectly formed.
