| Last reviewed: May 2026 Yellow triangle, red square, blue circle, the signage is the name. Remy Savage's tiny Haggerston room runs a menu of Bauhaus-numbered cocktails (drink number, not drink name), built on a single principle: the simplest possible drink that does exactly one thing. The result is the most-talked-about bar east of the City for cocktail people, and the reason the audience that read Wallpaper in the 2010s should walk twenty minutes from Shoreditch.
Editor's Tip
Tiny room, book ahead. Each drink is numbered, not named, and built from a fixed Bauhaus-style design grid. Sister bar Warehaus is two doors down for the overflow night.
