Isabel

If you can resist the temptation to be drawn into the gold-lit glamour of Isabel proper, The Dragon Room – hidden in the basement – is great for late-night libations. Inside feels a bit like a fancy living room, with carpeted floors, navy velvet sofas, and mirror-topped tables. Cocktails are mostly classic and err on the expensive side, but the amaretto sour is good – as is the music, provided by DJs from 10pm. Insider’s tip: chase a Saturday night of cocktails with brunch at Isabel, available on Sundays from 12pm.
