Office drinks near barbican or St Paul's?

Question

My office is going out for 'team drinks' in the Barbican area of London. Anyone know any cool places to go? We're all quite young and the place needs to be female friendly, so no old codger pubs please.

Answer 1

It may sound old-codgery - but the Punch Tavern on Fleet Street, just up from Ludgate Circus is once you get inside, decidedly the opposite, great atmosphere, friendly staff and if you get peckish - fantastic food....worth becoming a member of the club (free to join) as you get 10% off your booze, and 15% off food all the time! And invites to various bashes they throw with free booze and food.

Answer 2

Go to "Apt Bar" off of Queen Victoria Street and Bow Lane.
