A new members bar Eight might convince us to cross London's East/West line. Located in the heart of the City, Eight is reassuringly expensive. While most late night establishments focus on a gimmick - cabaret, bands or dodgy DJs - Eight is all about leather club chairs, cocktails, and quiet card games. Bliss. Other features include three 9ft Brunswick championship pool tables, a cinema and three private games rooms, complete with maxi-bars, LCD screen and iPod decks. |
