WHY WE LOVE THIS BAR...
Thirteen - the cocktail bar at Chateau Denmark - is a neighbourhood hangout nestled on a street seeped in music. Since the 1950s Denmark Street was the home of rock 'n' roll - and according to Wikipedia "The Rolling Stones recorded at Regent Sound Studio at No. 4... David Bowie and the Small Faces often socialised in the Gioconda Cafe at No. 9, Elton John and Bernie Taupin wrote songs at offices on the street in the 1960s, while the Sex Pistols lived above No. 6, and recorded their first demos there. So no pressure then." Thirteen is stuffed full of baroque, gothic glamour but is also unpretentious and with a little terrace newly opened this is a great place to know. There are DJs and live acts on Friday and Saturday nights and if you're after something even more intimate, ask the team about the clandestine basement bar dial8.
