Just two minutes from the Boxpark in Shoreditch lies The London Cocktail Club, one of 6 venues in London well known for its friendly and loud bar staff and the occasional dancing on tables…

We arrived early on a Tuesday and it was pretty empty so loved having the place to ourselves! We played pool (£1 a go) whilst having some happy hour cocktails – 2 for £12 (5pm-8pm Tuesday to Saturday). Pictured is the Brambley Apple Smash and the daiquiri.

Cool quirky decor throughout, fantastic music but be warned it is pretty dark (not always a bad thing…!).

Imagine it gets pretty busy later in the night (and later in the week) and stays open until 1am on a Friday and Saturday.
