Coffee, cocktails, house party vibes, and a pink basement
"The mood at Diddy’s is always strictly fun. The cocktail menu is long but delightfully riddle-free and helpfully divided into sections—‘spritz’, ‘negroni’, ‘margarita’, ‘the rest’—that you’ll still understand after your second boulevardier. On winter nights it’s like a house party, on summer nights it’s like a block party, but whenever you visit, check out the basement-level pink room which is covered in sateen and filled with giggling friends." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna
"If clubs are impersonal, sticky-floored sweatboxes, Diddy’s is the anti-club. 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 in Hackney will most likely know your name." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, sinead cranna, daisy meager, heidi lauth beasley
"Perfect for anyone who wants to host a flat party but will not suffer the indignity of a balloon arch. We say this with total sincerity—think of your rug. It deserves peace, quiet, and no sudden spills. Instead, you and your favourite friends should take over the basement pink room at Diddy’s on Mare Street, one of those rare London bars where you can wear muddy trainers or a fluorescent feather boa and fit right in. Think house party without the heavy lifting but still with homely, colourful paper garlands, polaroids of recent parties, and the bonus of enough sateen in that pink room to make Liberace proud." - heidi lauth beasley
"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 Pause Unmute" - Sinéad Cranna
