A small, dimly lit cocktail bar on Bethnal Green Road where skilled bartenders craft innovative, theatrical drinks at reasonable prices. The staff are genuinely friendly and attentive, making it feel like a welcoming neighbourhood spot rather than a pretentious venue. All cocktails are priced the same, encouraging experimentation—just note it gets busy, so expect to queue or sit at the bar during peak times.
