WHY WE LOVE THIS BAR...

The Breakfast Club’s original speakeasy bar, located through the iconic Smeg fridge door underneath their Shoreditch restaurant and possibly the worst kept secret bar in London. You’ll have to ask to see the Mayor to get shown the way, but once inside, it’s always a bit of fun. A pretty small and dimly-lit basement bar with vintage furniture and a slight hunting lodge edge to it - thanks to the wooden walls and mounted reindeer head - awaits. The cocktails are well-crafted, the food is the same style of deep fried goodness as upstairs, and if your name is Garfield then you get a free drink. You’ll have to nonchalantly make your exit through the loos, to keep up pretenses, so all-in-all it’s a good one to visit if you like a side of covert fun with your drinks.
