What a gem of a bar! Paying homage to the Bauhaus style/school in interior (as well as the menu and their philosophy in mixology), retro-funk/disco embedded music, quirky yet witty/pleasant signature cocktails and very friendly staff. Many thanks to Will and Maria(h) and the other wonderful bartenders that I didn't have a chance to talk to🫶🏻Would love to visit again for sure!

Lovely bar in east london. Been in my bucket list for the longest time. Kazimir were exhuisite! My mate ordered lychee martini and enjoyed it too. Wished the service was faster and cheese board can be more diverse. but we loved the concept of the bar.

Minimalist in every way, except perhaps the onesies.
It was surprisingly east to get a seat even at 7pm on a weekday. Many of the drinks are pre-batched, and mostly clarified, but they are amazing. Lots of homemade ingredients!

Lovely place with knowledgable and attentive staff, and interesting and delicious cocktails. I love the precision of the pre-batched cocktails - they are reliable, and the menu tells you the alcohol content. The Atlas was a favourite. The drinks reminded me of the now-closed White Lyan (I miss their Old Fashioned…). We didn’t have food (we weren’t aware they had any).

The drinks are wonderful, well crafted and delicious!! The staff absolutely top that. Everyone is super friendly and knowledgeable, attentive and kind. They let us pick their brains about the menu and it was always super helpful!! Maria and Juna are names to note but Austin was an absolute angel. Made my birthday beyond special and I’ll forever be grateful for the impact it left. Thank you for taking such great care of us!! Will be back soon 🫶
