The 15 Best Cocktail Bars In London

"Lovers of modernism and admirers of obsessively chilled martinis will appreciate A Bar With Shapes For A Name. The Bauhaus-themed bar in Dalston is somewhere between a novelty experience and a rejected Zoolander idea, but it still manages to be a fine place to go for a good drink. Especially if you’re looking for somewhere after 2am. Ignore the pre-bottled cocktails and opt for something fresh from the shaker and, if possible, sit upstairs near the bar or downstairs on the big shared table. This is where you’ll find the shapes of people having a good time." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, daisy meager
