Why locals recommend it

This is where bartenders go to drink. It’s well hidden in a basement under a Thai restaurant in Hoxton Square, so you really need to know where you’re going. As you descend, the letters on the stairs spell the word “happiness.” It’s a really small space, but every time I’ve been, the cocktails have been phenomenal. The bartenders who work here are some of the most serious and knowledgeable I have met. The list changes constantly, but I’d suggest you go off-menu and give them a list of ingredients that you like: They love being put on the spot.

Perfect spot for a date or low-key hangout with friends. An small, low-lit, basement bar with delicious cocktails and attentive service. Perfect for saying “I know a little place in Shoreditch we can go…”

Speakeasy, easy to miss from the street but once you’re down the narrow steps it’s buzzy and has amazing cocktails. They know what they’re doing. Make a reservation!

My favorite bar! Ideal for couples - describe your mood to the bartender and expect their cocktail recommendation :)
