5 cool cocktail bars in Fulham

Evans & Peel Detective Agency is a bit of a walking contradiction. The Fulham cocktail bar is a mixture of a prohibition-era basement speakeasy and a detective agency. With this quirky combo, there’s always some mystery in the air and secrets to be uncovered.

The cocktail menu is inspired by some of the biggest cases the agency has worked on, with “The smokey Mexican godfather” and “Fruity cheeky chappy” being the highlights.

If you’re wondering how this interesting combination works, just take the tube to Earl’s Court, E&P is only minutes away.

Heated lodges, fur-lined sofas, ski huts, igloos and even a forest. No, you’re not at a ski chalet in the Alps, this is the Neverland London’s Winterland.

Fulham’s very own ski resort brings together all the best bits of winter, from the food to the festivities. Available for private hire and capable of hosting 400 guests, Winterland also offers its explorers, arcade games, beer pong and table tennis.

And if you’re not particularly fond of the cold weather, there’s nothing better than hot cocktails to warm up. The Hot Pink and Johnnie Hot Toddy are must-tries.

Getting to Winterland is no hike, it's just a short distance from the Wandsworth Town station.

Just a few minutes walk from Barbican Tube Station stands Simmon’s Bar, part of the popular Simmons chain that seems to be mushrooming locations everywhere across London (Number 26 opened its doors in November).

The slightly dark, underground interiors are illuminated with warm neon lights that complement the venue’s disco theme. The music ranges from EDM and hip-hop to hits from the 80s and good old party bangers. A combination of high stools and comfy banquette seating running around the venue ensures that there's ample space to grab a breather in between the dancing and drinking.

With their “Cocktails, Dreams and Disco`’ tagline, it is no surprise that Simmons takes their cocktails very seriously. Look no further than their trademark Cocktail Teapots (filled not with tea - surprise surprise )

The venue is available for private hire and can accommodate 320 people. The DJ booth is downstairs but you can hire your favourite DJ to play at your party - the equipment is all set.

This unique Fulham cocktail bar is modelled after the “flatshare concept” - weekly house parties and private events from their Fulham Road flat.

The venue offers an authentic, homely space for people to drink, dance, eat and have a good time. The space has the layout of a single-floor flat with an Entrance Hall along with The Living Room, The Kitchen and The Study. Each of these spaces can be hired individually or all together.

Straying true to theme, the signature cocktail on the menu is the House Punch, a house party staple.

The Little Blue Door can accommodate as many as 440 people and is just a short walk from the Parsons Green Underground Station.

This Polynesian-inspired cocktail bar instantly transports you to the stunning shores of the South Pacific, the moment you walk through its wooden doors.

Well known for its signature blends made with homemade infusions and tropical ingredients. And to go along with the cocktails, comfort food classics like pizzas and burgers. The music at Kona Kai ranges from Hip-Hop and House to Charts and old-schooL favourites, so it won’t be long before you start dancing.

Available for private hire and with a capacity to host up to 350 people, this Fulham cocktail is definitely worth visiting.
