Diddy's Review - Hackney - London - The Infatuation

"If clubs are impersonal, sticky-floored sweatboxes, Diddy’s is the anti-club. The drinks are strong and reasonably priced, and there’s a basement-level ‘pink’ room which is covered in sateen, shimmering fabrics, and cackling friends who may or may not be wearing feather boas. On winter nights it’s like a house party, on summer nights it’s like a block party, and by your third visit, the bar staff at this Mare Street spot will most likely know your name. Plus it serves good coffee in the day. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch" - Sinéad Cranna
