Moonshine Lounge

You'll find Moonshine Lounge tucked away on Kingsland High Street where Dalston does its best work—amidst the independent shops and proper local haunts. It's the kind of place where the staff actually know what they're doing behind the bar, and they're not about to dress up a vodka soda in five layers of theatricality. The vibe is stripped-back and unpretentious; think dark wood, dim lighting, and conversation that doesn't get drowned out by a DJ spinning house music at nightclub volume. This is where you come when you want a proper drink made right, not Instagram fodder.
