Fabwick

You'll find yourself in Queen's Yard, deep in the creative heart of Hackney Wick, where Fabwick sits among the artist studios and independent businesses that give this corner its character. Inside, it's the kind of place where the bar staff remember regulars but don't make you feel unwelcome on your first visit—there's a real craft to what they're doing with spirits and bitters, but it never tips into that insufferable cocktail-bar smugness. The room has that relaxed industrial feel you'd expect from the area, with actual conversation happening rather than everyone staring at their phones.
