"This Hackney Road spot can be a little bit beard-strokey, but it’s a cool and comfortable place to grab a couple of drinks later on, as it’s open until 1am on Fridays and Saturdays. There’s a huge wine list, but the ‘by the glass’ list is accessible price-wise and will trigger a classic case of orange versus chilled red. Cheat code: try both." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna
