Photos: A Taste Of London With Beefeater 24

We brought the never-ending party that is Getting Pissed In London Week to an actual party last night. Teaming up with Beefeater 24 is never a bad idea, particularly when bites of Marcus Samuelsson's British-themed food are making their rounds. At Food Republic, we know that bangers and mash on a stick is the proper hors d'oeuvre to pair with a highball of gin and citrus. Who's with us?

Food Republic took over Red Rooster's brand-spanking new downstairs venue, Ginny's Supper Club, to ply our friends with the true spirit of London. While a traditional English pub it is not, Ginny's low lighting, lengthy and easily-accessed bar, and constant flow of addictively refreshing Beefeater cocktails made us feel like we were right back in the smoke.

If you weren't in attendance, we'd still like to provide you a buzz. Try a few of last night's cocktails — cheers!
