    Jerked chicken skewer, £9.50
    Grace K.

    Went here with a party of 15 and it's a great spot for a group. The place isn't so big so it doesn't get too loud where everyone is shouting. Ambiance is nice. The good was Ok. Ordered the chicken skewer and there was nothing "jerked" about it in terms of flavor except the sticky glaze they put on top. Otherwise, very dry. The plantains were very dry too. The ox tail stew is all bones so i would not recommend ordering. The beef stew is plenty in portion and legit beef. If you're a meat eater, I would suggest that. But the "dumpling" that comes with that is super dry and not really the traditional dumpling we're used to with filling inside...it's just battered/fried dough, that's it.

    Boxpark is always quite lively, you'd be lucky to get a seat if the weather's good. Cottons has a nice long table but it's in the shade. The service was friendly but the food takes ages so if you're coming in for lunch on your break make sure you have enough time! The food is banging though. Worth it.

    Simple, tasty food. Nice atmosphere. Staff very friendly. Very accomodating for allergies (gluten, dairy, egg). Great drink selection.

    We found this cocktail bar when staying in the City of London at the end of December 2022 and…read morethough it seemed promising. At the time, we did not know it was a chain, but in any case it was unimpressive. It was not terrible but it was not very good, ultimately just ok. The place had some nice decor elements but seemed very much like an loud party place for drinkers who don't really know about drinks but want to seem sophisticated and have fun. I had the seasonal Fairytale of New York, which was the best of the lot, in part because it had no juice or other mixers like that. I often go with drinks along that line if I don't know the place. I then had the Scotch Mist, which was not as good. But it had grenadine, pineapple, and citrus, so there as the problem: it had too much of those and not enough of the Scotches. My wife had the Flyaway, tequila-based, and found it ok but too watery,juicy, and weak. Again, it had juices in it. Our daughter had a dirty martini which was not good. It had kalamata olives, which we took to be an attempt to seem fancy or avant garde, but which simply didn't work in a martini. This was not terrible but basically just an ok,somewhat crass cocktail place for people who want to seem sophisticated and "have fun" with loud music, etc., but don't really know anything about drinks. I can see this filling the role for people like that, but I would never go here again.

    The happy hour deal is good, with you getting two cocktails for the price of one. I like how the…read morewhole menu (which is massive, by the way) is eligible for the happy hour price. Two for one is a good deal but I wish you didn't have to get two of the same cocktail. I got the lychee martini and honestly it didn't taste much like lychee at all - also every lychee martini I've had in the past was made with vodka and this one was made with gin (fine, just unusual). The music was so loud I could barely think - my ears are still ringing today. I wish they had turned it down a little bit because it was really overbearing. The overall bar is nice but a little bit cramped. There was limited seating at the bar and only a few tables that were all occupied once I got there. The bartender was nice. I wouldn't rush to return although the happy hour deal is good for what you get.

    Best mixology bar I've found in London!…read more The menu of 'house-drinks' is usually only a starting place for me. We usually try several of the menu drinks to get a feel for the bartender skillz, before ordering what we really want. But; surprise, surprise! The menu drinks here are actually great! My wife loved one of the chocolate martini style drinks (I forgot the name), and she barely drinks ETOH. I started with the Porn-Star, expecting mediocrity with a catchy name - but it was great! I'm a huge fan of vodka mojitos, so the Twisted Mojito was next. HOLD YOUR TEXT MESSAGES; this is the best mojito I have had in a long time!! (and I drink a lot of Mojitos!). I quickly drank another; still perfect!! Great service from the friendly bartender, fair prices, and EXCELLENT drinks. We will be back before we leave London!

I'd describe it as busy but not overcrowded, dim lit and divey but not dirty, with fair prices, interesting drink options and friendly service. And there was a live DJ starting around 10:30 PM. For drinks, I had the BBQ Negroni. I have no idea what gives it the "BBQ" flavor, but it's there and it is good. My wife ordered the Green Card, a tequila-based drink that features a mango chutney. (The Green Card is unfortunately cursed though with way too salty ancho mix on the rim). Overall, it's a quality spot for a drink before galumphing on.

But I told him about my venture, visiting London for a quick weekend and wanting to bar hop through Shoreditch. He was surprised I was in the neighborhood considering I was staying in Soho. He commented Shoreditch was a bit of a journey but he appreciated the effort and wrote down a list of bars he recommended. He gave about 6-7 and my partner and I managed to hit 3. They were definitely unique bars, including one that gets going at 1am, a bar with shapes for a name.
