It's official: the era of the cocktail is upon us. Gin and tonics and dry martinis are now a thing of the past as bartenders morph into true mixologists. The Met Bar, attached to the COMO Hotels & Resort's Metropolitan London, exemplifies this sea change in an industry that was long characterized by light lagers and ales as well as simple liquor combinations. The Met is now offering up to 40 cocktail offerings, all custom designed by the highly trained bar staff for its discerning clientele. The Met Bar is the certainly the perfect place to have a relaxing drink before retiring to the luxury of Metropolitan London's plush rooms. So on your next London vacation, come celebrate the art of the cocktail at the Met Bar!
