The Cocktail Club - Cocktail Bar near Old Street

You'll walk into Worship Street and immediately feel the buzz—this place has the energy of somewhere that actually cares about what's in your glass. The space itself is proper industrial-chic, all exposed brick and vintage fittings, but it never tips into trying too hard. What sets it apart is the bartenders actually know their stuff; they're not just throwing bottles around, they're thinking about balance, provenance, texture. The drinks menu reads like a masterclass in cocktail fundamentals, with enough creativity to keep regulars interested but rooted in technique that would make your gran's martini jealous. It's packed most nights—the kind of place where you can roll in solo and end up chatting to someone at the bar, or come with mates and still manage proper conversation without shouting.
