The real show-stopper of the evening for us had to be the El Gobernador taco. Coated with a crispy caramelised cheese mix, this super-sized taco is stuffed with grilled prawns, salsa roja and pico de gallo. It was so good we had to order another one.
Self-describing as 'tropicalifornication', the basement bar has built a rep thanks to its interesting cocktail menu and hi-fi sound system, and has recently launched a new drinks and food menu to celebrate its seventh birthday.
Having sampled a few cocktails during our visit, the winner had to be the 'Sweet Re-leaf', which is Nine Lives' less punchy, sweeter twist on a martini made with mezcal, tequila, fino sherry and aloe vera.
Nine Lives is a trusty date spot you can always rely on. With low lighting, banging cocktails and a fun and relaxed atmosphere, it's always high on our list for central London cocktail bars.
