Be it couture or interactive encounters, fire-spitting bars, or the outright bizarre, tourists to the city are loaded with alternatives.

Bunga Bunga

Bunga Bunga is known for its oddities including a Sistine Chapel-inspired stairwell and retro mopeds suspended from the rafters, as well as unexpected marches of female dancers and Eurovision-themed cabaret.
There isn't an ounce of this bar-pizzeria that isn't decorated in some type of vibrant memento, from humorous political cartoons to Roman figures on the pillars or old motorbikes dangling from the ceiling.
A small range of Italian wines and ales, as well as Champagne, Margarita, and Campari-based concoctions, maintain the concept.

Alcotraz becomes the ideal spot for enjoying a drink inside a small yet dramatic setting, from the visitor's orange jumpsuit upon arrival to the actual steel chambers.

The Cellar Door

The minds behind The Vaults own this boozer, which is half bar, half theatre.
Huge decorations clutter the room, hinting at theatrical shenanigans: a massive imitation moon rests among booths, and a set of gargantuan glittering red lips grin warmly at customers.
One seat is in a treehouse with a tiny stairway, while another is in a cave covered with moss netting.
One of the counter stools is intentionally, outrageously high, allowing customers to sit with their buttocks a full foot above the platform.

Bobby Fitzpatrick

Take a trip back in time to the 1970s. Bobby Fitzpatrick in West Hampstead is a vintage theme bar that brings nostalgic feelings to greater heights.
This pub is the absolute epitome of a bachelor pad, with marble ceilings and garish decor that would make Austin Powers flush.
Bobby Fitzpatrick thrives once visitors get over the strangeness of seeing north Londoners in their street clothes sat on old people's house couches.
And there is something strangely soothing about fleeing the generation for the evening and getting wasted in a different one.

The Little Nan Bar

Tristan Scutt, the owner of the little nan, built the pub in memory of his late grandma, and he's made it clear that while everything is old, it's not ragged style.
However, it's all-out '80s front-room masochism, with drinking menus buried in Charles and Diana souvenir booklets, mocktails delivered in leopard-print pitchers, picture frames of drama celebrities, and cat-covered pillows everywhere.
Customers can request drinks by the pitcher or go single and get a complimentary cocktail whip.
Snacks are authentically British, with anything from a delicious fish-finger toastie to rings on toast if customers are feeling nostalgic.
From the quirky lavatory to the booming dance music, Little Nan's is all about having a good time.

There's a decent variety of locally brewed specialty draft beers as well as the usual suspects and substantial pub fare is available.
The pub hosts frequent gaming contests as well as periodic movie screenings and one-off gatherings and celebrations to make use of the heaps of vintage video games.
