FlipDog

You'll find FlipDog tucked into the City Road stretch near Old Street, where the bar scene is actually worth your time if you know where to look. This is the kind of place that doesn't need to shout about itself—the consistently strong ratings speak to a team that cares about what goes in the glass and who's ordering it. The space itself has that relaxed, unpretentious energy that makes you want to linger over a drink without feeling like you're being rushed or upsold on something ridiculous.
