You don't really need an excuse to visit Kanaloa, the hot and funky bar in Lime Office Court, close to the Chancery Lane Tube Station in London. As anyone from the hip crowd will testify, Kanaloa is the place to be when you want to get away from all your worldly troubles and step on to completely another dimension. There's cool leather, stylish hardwood floors, elegant lighting and an art nouveau collection that's sleek and inspiring. Seriously, what more could you ask from a venue? Maybe whether the food and drinks are worthy of all that decor?

To figure that one out, try the nachos smothered with melted cheese as a starter and move on to char grilled fresh chicken breast with wild mushrooms, sautéed potatoes, rocket and pesto dressing. They also do burgers, salads and the ubiquitous fish and chips while sweet nothings could comprise of a decadent chocolate and hazelnut roulade. The drinks list at Alibi is comprehensive and includes an exciting list of cocktails and shooters.
