Hoxton
Hoxton Square's basement, the small, no-fuss cocktail room the trade has booked since 2010
Wentworth Street's unmarked basement, the City fringe speakeasy that does not need a velvet rope
On a Wentworth Street side road behind Liverpool Street, an unmarked door beside an old tailor's shopfront leads down to a single low-ceilinged room of exposed brick, twenty-something seats and one of the most-respected cocktail programmes on the City fringe. No menu of show-off serves, a tight house list of properly built classics, a rotating short menu of originals, and a bartender who will steer the room. Regulars that books Tayer & Elementary in advance and turns up at A Bar With Shapes For A Name walks here next.
Walk-in for two until around 19:00; book ahead for any group above two. Unmarked door, look for the old Discount Suit Company tailor's signage and the small lantern. Five minutes from Liverpool Street, ten from Spitalfields.
