"If you’re of the opinion that most converted railway arch restaurants look like an ominous mid-point scene from Grand Designs where the homeowners declare that they’re running behind schedule due to their imminent divorce and “issues with the shale”, then Yuki Bar is ready to change your mind. This moody little wine bar from a former Noma sommelier is a masterclass in industrial chic: polished Japanese edition. Tealights twinkle on the wraparound wooden bar, love birds share a plate of chilled beef rump tataki, and the intimate, sexy buzz of the space makes everyone forget that this Hackney archway was probably once home to a flock of feral pigeons." - heidi lauth beasley
