The basement on City Road behind an unmarked door is the standard against which every London speakeasy is measured, with nightly live jazz and a cocktail menu that takes the prohibition era seriously.

TipBookings only, walk-ins are turned away after 19:00. The 22:30 second set is when the band loosens up.

Happiness Forgets ★ 4.8

££ ShoreditchDaily 17:00-23:00

The Hoxton Square basement run by Alastair Burgess pairs a tight rotating cocktail list with a no-nonsense room policy that has kept it on the World's 50 Best Bars list more or less continuously since 2014.

TipBookings open one week ahead at 12:00 sharp, set a reminder. Walk-ins get the bar if anything.
