CityBird: Cheer Up In January

Steam Wine Bar, Monument 
The City best-kept secret, this insurance broker’s haunt is offering a bottle of house wine for £10, prosecco for £15 and a bucket of Becks beer for only £10 throughout January. What’s more, reserve a table for 10 or more people and get a free bottle of fizz to boot.

Corney & Barrow
The City chain doesn’t disappoint with its first deal of 2012, giving all customers who pre-book a table for lunch 50% off the bill. Bonus point if you book a table at the Broadgate Circle branch – you’re guaranteed a view of a lonely banker skating around the ice rink.

Lamb Tavern, Leadenhall
Register with the pub on its website and you can download a voucher which’ll give you two main meals and a bottle of wine for only £25 in their dining room. The pub is also home to Old Tom’s Bar, which, if you’re going dry for the month, will satisfy your acrid tongue with a cheese board.

Slug & Lettuce, Fenchurch Street
‘It’s cold outside and everyone is just a tad miserable’ says the email – but fear not, as Slug & Lettuce is giving City diners 50 per cent off food until the 16 January.

Cinnamon Kitchen, Devonshire Square
Get two courses for £16 and three for £19 at the City’s favourite modern Indian haunt. Thankfully, both come with a winter martini so there’s no good in claiming you’re ‘doing a teetotal’.

Revolution, Tower Hill
Fortunately Vodka Revs takes its drinking culture seriously, and is having none of this dry January malarkey. Book in advance for you and up to 20 (!) friends and get NOT ONLY a free drink on arrival, but if you book an area, the bar will double your bar tab. Spend £50 at the bar, get £50 free – my kinda place.
