| | Friday | |  |  |  | | | DRINK: | | DANCE: | | Dickie’s Bar | | m.A.A.d. City - Kendrick Lamar Party | | | Corrigan’s Mayfair have just launched their new bar Dickies, and we can’t wait to try it. Why? Because they’ve partnered up with The Dead Rabbit’s Gregory Buda for the cocktails, so we’re expecting great things. It’s NYC meets Ireland; homemade sodas and ingredients from Corrigan’s Virginia Park Lodge mixed with a little Big Apple flare.
| | After trying out the new cocktails at Dickie’s, it’s over to Great Eastern Street for a night of non-stop Kendrick Lamar at Trapeze Basement. Time to celebrate all things Kendrick with 1XTRA’s CJ Beatz and DJ Cable, plus Russ Ryan. If you love KL as much as we do, see you on the dancefloor.

| | REMINDER: | | | Foley’s x UJ: 50% Off Breakfast | |  | | | Don’t forget we’ve teamed up with our fave Foley’s to offer 50% off their new breakfast menu (we’re still thinking about the egg and smoked salmon paratha). Just head here and quote ‘UJ Brekkie Offer’ when you book a table.
| | | | 50% off total bill when ordering from the breakfast menu (served until 11am), Monday-Saturday. Valid throughout June, July and August.

| | Saturday | |  | |  | | | SHOP: | | VISIT: | | Independent Label Market | | Perfume Exhibition, Somerset House | | | We’re celebrating independent labels at the moment, with our top 5 earlier this week, and a round-up of the ones coming of age below. So fittingly, this weekend marks the return of Independent Label Market. Cratediggers get down for treats from !K7, Late Night Tales, Ninja Tune, Phantasy and Erased Tapes.
| | An exhibition about perfume might not sound that fun, but Somerset House have created something that’s more interactive sensory journey than static exhibition. Go from room to room smelling each mysterious scent and writing down what notes you detect, then find out if you were right at the end. One to visit with your competitive friends.

| | PARTY TIME: | | | Record Label Birthdays | |  | | | Toast to longevity as three of our favourite record labels reach some major milestones this year. Coldcut turns 30 in September, and the pioneers of the UK’s electronic dance music scene will be celebrating with a new AV show at Village Underground. Erased Tapes will be 10, and are taking over the Royal Festival Hall with Kiasmos and Rival Consoles for a weekend party. And Joe Goddard’s Greco-Roman also reaches a decade of bringing underground acts to the fore. They’ll be throwing a party with all the label’s familiar faces at Bloc on 22nd July. We never say no to a Greco-Roman party!

| | Sunday | |  | |  | | | EAT: | | GO: | | Summer Sundays at Bernardi’s | | Community Spirit: Grenfell Tower | | | This weekend is the first of Bernardi’s Summer Sundays, a weekly celebration of longer days and balmy nights at the Mayfair restaurant. Pair a dish from the new brunch menu (scrambled eggs, Cornish crab and parsley is our pick) with some seriously good tunes from the weekly changing DJs, or head downstairs to the bar for a Gin Mare and tonic with samphire and thyme.
| | This Sunday, some of London’s best bars are joining forces to raise funds for charities connected with the Grenfell Tower disaster. Bad Sports, The London Cocktail Club, Callooh Callay and more will be setting up for the day in Notting Hill’s Westbank, with the menu changing all day depending on who is behind the bar. Entry is £20 (which includes three cocktails) and 100% of all profits are donated – you can book here now. Can’t make it? You can still donate via the same link.
