Paris
You might think Paris was cool enough without needing to accommodate the hipster movement, but while it is undoubtedly dripping with classic elegance, Paris is more Kristin Scott Thomas than Ellen Page. In truth it's been overtaken by a number of...
Stockholm
The intention at The Flying Elk was to replicate a classic British pub atmosphere in Stockholm – now I don't hang out in the best areas of town, but if they wanted to recreate my local, designers sandellsandberg should have added a couple of fruit...
Singapore
The concept behind this bar in Singapore is “upcycling” - that's like recycling where the new thing is better than the old one. When The Butter Factory's popular Fash venue needed a new lease of life, this upcycling philosophy led the owners to...
Melbourne
We are saying a big “yes sir” to Si Señor Art Taqueria, a bar where the Mexican festival Day of the Dead is alive and well. The psychedelic skulls iconography is a massive favourite here at We Heart, and the pueblo of Melbourne agree – the Si...

Saint Petersburg
