A new Loco is about to hit London's streets, this time designed by Paul Daly (of Hoxton fame), which means earthy tones, exposed brickwork, aubergine walls and chocolate leather banquettes. The Italian chain is the brainchild of Fish! founder Tony Allan. The bar will serve classic Italian cocktails like Bellinis and Begronis, plus Italian beers and wines. Opens: 17 June Owners: Tony Allan Executive chef: Nick Melmoth Coombs (formerly at Spiga and Carluccio's) Food: pizza and pasta are made on site, with local produce used where possible. Look out for specials like Tuscan salad with asparagus and sea bass with braised fennel. Capacity: 100 Crowd: Homely and friendly Average food spend: £20-£25 (two courses) Address: 222 Munster Road, Fulham, London SW6 6AY Tel: 020 7381 6137 ### Deya, London

This burgeoning bar chain has just opened its third operation, this time breaking into London's West End. Incredibly for the times, it's not claiming to be a new-style bar but more of a locals-style joint. The decor is bright (mustard walls) and the music cheesy - think seventies funk and eighties classics to old school rock - but it's all about comfort and having a good time. Opened: 31 May Owners: Steve Locke, Rhys Oldfield and Leigh Miller - all ex-TGI Friday's Drinks: 150 cocktails, as well as the usual beers and wine Capacity: 120 Crowd: Relaxed, fun, up for it Average cocktail price: £4.70 Address: 23 Wellington Street, London WC2E 7DA Tel: 020 7240 9889
