Skybar

You can drink in English pubs all over the world. But what if you're stuck in Blighty and fancy sipping a cocktail under tropical palms, or diving into blue warm waters for a dip before dinner? Well, you'll have to go to Heathrow. But before you roll your eyes and tell us that you're too busy to fly to the South Pacific for the evening, keep reading. Because the Skybar at the Sheraton Skyline in Heathrow is literally a little slice of paradise under our grey skies. Complete with heated pool, and enough foliage to support a small eco-system, drinking in the Skybar is like getting drunk in a jungle. And it doesn't stop there. Every Friday sees the bar turned into an Indian beach party. The weekly Mumbai Nights event comes complete with spicy snacks by chefs from top Asian restaurant Madhu's, Indian inspired music from resident DJs, and a cocktail list longer than a flight to Delhi and back. With all this, it's no surprise that this place keeps getting nominated as one of the world's most stylish places to go for a tipple. While you might think only the crazy will travel to Heathrow for a night out, this place could be anywhere in the world and still pull the crowds.
