High Water London

The 16 Best First Date Bars In London - London - The Infatuation

"There’s no funny business at High Water but, respectfully, there is quite a bit of PDA.  This straightforward Stoke Newington Road bar is totally unpretentious and has that whole sexy crypt thing going on—exposed brick, a certain sensual l’odeur de cave, just enough candlelight to be able to see any cheeky winks come nightfall. The menu is packed full of sloe gin and mezcal takes on the classics, and we have a real soft spot for the short but sweet wine selection. For high hopes and lingering first dates, it’s open until 2am every night of the week." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna
