Bar of the Year 2025

Apollo Inn

Bar snacks$$

Moody Flinders Lane bar for cocktails and share plates.

This impeccably designed bolthole at the top of Hosier Lane is like a vintage sports car – compact, fast, buffed and worth the cost. No surprise that it’s the sibling of acclaimed restaurateur Andrew McConnell’s hit brasserie Gimlet. The refined 30-seat companion bar offers exacting drinks, understated snacks and a sophisticated vibe.
