Weekly changing cocktail menu in a Victorian townhouse smack bang in the City? Sold. Hot step it to this new awesome venue from The Four Sisters over in Islington. You’ll feel like you stepped straight into a Charles Dickens novel ‘cos it’s right on the cobbled streets of Bow Lane. Dickensian-style City escape.

Inside the theme continues, with gilt-framed mirrors, traditional Victorian floor tiles and gargoyle heads hanging from the ceiling. Your date’ll love it. The drinks have a ‘market-to-glass’ concept, so expect locally sourced sh*t and homemade barrel-aged aromatic bitters, tinctures, curds, syrups, foams and cordials. FYI look out for the badass lunchtime deals and aperatif offers. Work what?

Hungry? There’s food too, so you can get grazing on sharing boards or go all out with main courses. We reckon Charles D would be all over this joint.
