At a time when the art of tending bar seems to be waning at many of the city’s high end cocktail bars, Satan’s Whiskers’ Mia Kumari is a reminder that not all hope is lost for the next generation of drink slingers.
Despite her aptitude for creating intricate cocktails, she’s not overly caught up in the mixology nonsense that many up-and-coming bartenders are fixated on, at the expense of hospitality. She’s got a fine repertoire of chat, anticipates the needs of her guests, and welcomes every person at Satan’s Whiskers with a warm and eager smile that makes them feel like they’re exactly where they’re supposed to be: London’s world-class, classic cocktail bar.
