Brass Mongoose in City of London, Westminster

This bar went our of business some time ago and is permanently closed. Judging by the Council notices in all the windows, business rates probably hadn't been paid?

We recently discovered this tapas place near work. They do really good value lunches - patatas bravas, pintxos, croquettas and pots of stews and we go there regularly. We recently found out they've started opening in the evenings on Thursdays & Fridays so went to check it out - they have a full tapas menu and happy hour sangria, wine and beer. It was really nice food, as authentic as most of the stuff I've had in Barcelona, friendly service, great atmosphere and cheap drinks. A real refreshing alternative to the suit-filled chain bars in this part of town!
