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.
