"Five minutes away from purgatory—Old Street roundabout—is this sceney cocktail bar. Tayēr + Elementary’s front bar is walk-in-only, has the look of an izakaya built from Apollo 11’s scrap parts, including a pretty nifty Negroni tap, and is perfect for spontaneous midweek things. The back bar is a moodily lit date den with its own separate cocktail list and vaguely illicit, Blade Runner vibe." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
