To celebrate their 4th birthday, Après, W1’s late night cocktail bar decided to throw a party complete with musical chairs, balloon animals and an array of glowing jewellery. To top it all off they were serving special ‘Birthday Milk’ cocktails to mark the occasion.         If you haven’t heard of Après, it’s probably because it hides nicely next to the side entrance of Selfridges and not centrally located in the tourist trap, a good thing in my opinion. The decor is cool, slick and stylish. The music was pumping and differed between the lounge and the main bar upstairs. I feel like Après have mastered the balance with the two spaces with the club offering a fun place to let loose and go crazy on the dance floor, and the upstairs area being the ultimate chill out with a much lighter area next to a shisha terrace outside.   The cocktails were delicious and fresh, perfect for the summer. Their signature cocktail, Le Birthday Milk, is made from a blend of coconut milk, nutmeg, rum and some other exotic flavours! Kudos for the invention it is well worth a try and will be available throughout the month of June!   Après has the right amount of ‘cool’ without being too hipster and not too corporate. There’s something to please everyone in this club so it’s well worth a visit if you’d like to escape the hustle and bustle of Oxford Street or fancy a good knees up with some mates and most importantly, the service is excellent!   You can find them on 31 Duke St, W1 just off Oxford St.
