Aldgate is made up a number of bars but only few stand out making them the top recommended high-end bars to visit in London. Jin Bo Law Skybar being one. The bar’s name originates from an ancient golden wine cup immortalised in the Book of Northern Qi. It locates itself in the busy ends of Aldgate on the 14th floor of Dorset City Hotel overlooking what can only be told as one of London’s most iconic skyline views whilst sipping on cocktails you never even imagined to exist. Being one of London’s newest rooftop bars its climbed its way to the top through its cleverly hand-crafted cocktails, remarkable customer service and prime location.
The interior is Asian inspired with a black and yellow theme and consists of marble floors, bronze surfaces and a giant geometric pineapple dominating over the heads of people sat at the bar. Jin Bo Law Skybar attracts many different crowds making it one of the reasons for being so popular whether you’re looking for a after work drink, a place to celebrate your birthday in style or a romantic evening for you and your loved one. The bar has inside and outside seating separated by big glass windows (able to be opened or closed depending on season) making the view just as iconic wherever you choose to sit. The terrace offering the perfect place to soak in the summer sun or a night time winter view encased in the warmth of the inside. The perspective of the views adds to the reason on why their so spectacular with the Gherkin and Walkie-Talkie seeming in hands reach whilst London bridge placing itself on the map as if built in a model village.
The cocktail menu is inspired by the Asian theme by taking your normal cocktail menu and adding their own ‘Jin B Law’ twist. ‘Dragon air’ holds their own creative ingredients replacing very Western gin with Eastern Baijiu (a Chinese spirit) originally inspired from the ‘White Negroni’. Changing this around adds the more exotic flavours of pear and chocolate together. Another highly recommended home-made concoction is ‘Fizz from a rose.’ This is made up of kaffir lime, rose liquor, egg white and ginger beer enhancing not your experience not only though the taste but textures as well. Lastly a must-try on the menu is the ‘Butterfly Punch’ which is a traditional vodka based punch added in with their own Jasmine tea twist. Or perhaps you fancy enjoy your creamy cocktails? Milk and Cookies is one of Jin Bo Laws signature drinks combining sake, white chocolate, rice krispies, vanilla milk and bitters, presented in a glass milk carton and finished off with a cookie taking you back to those childhood days making bedtime that little bit easier.
With several sky bars in London there’s only few that separate themselves from the rest. With its unique cocktail menu and breathtaking views there isn’t much more to ask for. It’s new, modern and stylish the; perfect hotspot to visit in London.
