I only had 2 drinks in the theatre and a couple in the restaurant so I managed to keep my eyes open
We ended up going to Tower 42, which is the old Nat West building apparently. The restuarant / bar is called Social 24, on floor 24. Great views of the Gherkin and a few other things. We had chicken salad off a very limited bar menu, with a side of duck fat chips (there was no fish and chips left ) and a drink each for £60. £6.50 for a half!
We then went up to the rooftop champagne bar, Vertigo 42 on floor 42. Brilliant and different views, The Shard and St Paul's etc. £22 for a couple of the cheaper drinks.
We then had a couple of more drinks in the Hoop and Grapes pub near our digs. A 400+ year old pub which survived the great fire of London. The good lady was very impressed as was I, great night.

Sounds like it was a good night out. Sometimes you just have to grin & bear it when the bill comes round, but it's not like you're doing that every night.We ended up going to Tower 42, which is the old Nat West building apparently.

I was 'happy' to pay about £100 for a meal and drinks so it fitted the bill very nicely
