"It’s rare you get a mixologist’s favourite bar that also aligns with the ‘one more, one more’ crew, but that’s the case with A Bar With Shapes For A Name in Dalston. The Bauhaus-themed spot feels like a studio-cum-test kitchen and has servers floating around in coloured overalls pouring crisp martinis like an early hours Orwellian fever dream. It’s open late-late, so expect fashionistas, beleaguered chefs, and everyone else knocking about east London." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley
