Brought to you by the team behind Callooh Callay is this Islington gem, tucked away just off Upper Street and much more of a neighbourhood bar than its Shoreditch and King's Road sisters. Colourful leather sofas, an eclectic mix of prints, chandeliers and some nice vintage pieces chosen by someone with a keen eye. There are loads of areas for parties of pals and the cocktails are fun and inventive. Make sure you head down on Tuesdays for free tastings and at the weekend for food too, as brunch is a hit.
