Valentine's pubs and clubs

Treat your date on Valentine's Day
10 April 2012

Are you looking for the perfect den to woo your date? Or maybe you want to avoid all the mushy romance like the plague? From the dreamily romantic Gordon's to an anti-speed dating night with the Grim Reaper, take your pick of our Valentine's pubs and bars...

Gordon's
47 Viller's Street, WC2 (020 7930 1408) Mon-Fri: 11am-11pm, Sat 5pm-11pm
If it's a romantic, candlelit environment with a gently buzzing atmosphere you're after, try this wine bar in vaulted arches beneath Charing Cross Station. Great wines, good food, agreeable prices and dreamily romantic.

Loungelover
1 Whitby Street E1 (020 7012 1234) Mon-Sat until midnight
The three guys behind camp restaurant Les Trois Garçons near Liverpool Street have created possibly the hippest bar de nos jours. Eclectically decorated, with a cluttered interior that blends gothic, art deco and Provençal styles, it's heavy on the style but doesn't neglect the substance i.e. the cocktails work a treat.

Digress
10 Beak Street, W1F (020 7437 0239) Mon-Sat until midnight
This Soho bar is holding an Anti-Valentines Social Soiree for singletons. Thesocialservice.com is hosting the event in the private lounge and will be inviting up to thirty of its members along for a champagne reception and nibbles.

Noble Rot
3-5 Mill Street, W1 (020 7629 8877) Wed-Sat until 3am
This Moroccan-style souk bar is tucked away in the basement of this well-known Mayfair restaurant and has plenty of dark corners and booths to hide away and curl up in. Perfect for dangerous liaisons and ignoble rotters.

Windows Bar
London Hilton, Park Lane, W1 (020 7493 8000) Mon-Thur until 1.30, Fri & Sat until 2.30am, Sun until 10pm.
For pure wow factor, take your date to Windows on the 28th floor of the London Hilton hotel. It features a sophisticated piano bar with a 'dressed-up' policy and views that will blow you away.

Carling Academy
N1 Centre, Islington (08700 600 100) 10pm-3am
The Feeling Gloomy boys will be running an anti-speed dating event on Saturday 11 February where clubbers try to ignore as many people as they can in three minutes. The Grim Reaper will be acting as cupid and gentlemen are asked to bring dead flowers for the ladies. Dress to depress.
