Dovetail Bar - Covent GardenA

2nd Floor, RedFarm, 9 Russell St, London WC2B 5HZ · Pub, Bar, Event venue · The West End

Intimate, reservation-worthy speakeasy upstairs in Covent Garden serving balanced classics-with-a-twist at fair central-London prices; outstanding hospitality with minor crowding and occasional drink preference misses.

Our take

Dovetail Bar exemplifies grade A standards through exceptional service attentiveness and outstanding bartender knowledge, delivering bespoke cocktails with genuine care in an intimate hidden setting. Cocktail quality remains consistently balanced and thoughtfully executed, while solid consistency across repeat visits reinforces reliability. The modest space and limited food offerings are intentional design choices that enhance rather than diminish the focused cocktail experience, positioning this as a destination-worthy gem in central London.

One caveat: Room is tiny; walk-ins may wait or be turned away
