Opium is one of those “blink and you could miss it” places. Located amid the hustle and bustle of Chinatown, I actually did miss it on my first few passes. However, once you climb up a few flights of stairs, all the find and seek is well worth it. Here’s why.
We ended up sitting in Peony, a special part of Opium with an innovative drink menu and cocktail bar.
As I was there way before my girlfriends, I started to chat with the lovely bartender and she made me a custom cocktail with gin, watermelon, raspberry and mint. Pure perfection!
For my second cocktail, I tried one a touch more creamy with apricot flavors. Also very good.
Opium is located at The jade door, 15-16 Gerrard St, Chinatown, London W1D 6JE. To look at the full drink menu at Opium, click here.
