A New Year, a new you, a new everything. Times they are a-changin’ but let’s face it, after all that festive spending we’re all broke as a Christmas cracker joke. But what with all the New Year’s love in the air, your dating life shouldn’t suffer as well as your bank balance. Here at DesignMyNight, we’ve searched high and low for some of the best deals in London so you can still impress, without making your bank manager cry. Here are a few of our favourites…
I see your happy hour, and I raise you 5 HAPPY HOURS. Yes that’s right; at Simmons King’s Cross from Sunday to Friday, visitors can cash in on big savings from 4pm-9pm. Quirk heavy, a uniquely awesome atmosphere and £2.50 drinks; Simmons is a creative and kitsch hub perfect for impressing any date – without blowing the budget!
Foundation, Covent GardenFor a more hands-on date idea, how about learning the wonderful art of mixology? Foundation bar offer cocktail master classes, teaching you how to knock up your favourite liquid concoctions all by yourself. Mull it over with a Mojito or perhaps talk it over with a Tequila Sunrise, but whatever you do, book online to receive a 25% discount. Make ours an Appletini (pint of, please).
Nordic Bar, SohoIf ever you craved for a date venue with a more Scandinavian feel, and let’s face it who hasn’t, this alpine themed Scandinavian bar is the perfect place for a romantic smorgasbord or two. With well-priced drinks and a 2-for-1 cocktail deal, not only is Nordic Bar the economic option, it also boasts a helluva lot of character, too. Play your cards right and your date will be saying “jag älskar dig” in no time.
Northbank RestaurantStunning views and gorgeous cuisine are great and all, but let’s face it, they can be pretty darn pricey. That’s why a whopping 50% off your food and wine makes it taste all the better. Wow your date with views of the millennium bridge and the iconic Southbank area, whilst tucking into tasty British cuisine with a modern feel, for half the cost. Classy and smooth, bagging the next date is a sure thing after a trip to Northbank.
