Discount Suit Company

"Discount Suit Company is another basement bar. The people behind it run The Umbrella Project nearby and The Sun Tavern, so you can be confident that they take their liquor very seriously without being bores about it. Come after the market traders at Petticoat Lane have gone home, and impress your date with your knowledge of hidden things when you take them down an unmarked flight of stairs below the old Discount Suit Company sign on the side of the building. Be warned it can get very busy, and it might be an idea to reserve a table." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing

"Discount Suit Company is a Shoreditch bar that takes liquor very seriously without being bores about it. Ranking high on our list of bars that will impress a date, especially once they try one of the inventive cocktails while some vintage rock ‘n’ roll is playing. The menu reads like our dream liquor cabinet—three-year aged rum, yoghurt soju, manzanilla sherry—but despite the quality booze the prices remain below that sweet £10 mark. Be warned, it’s small and gets very busy, so book ahead. " - heidi lauth beasley

"Life hack: pretend Thursday night is Friday night and you will eventually convince your brain that the weekend has come. Of course that is until you go back to work on Friday with a pounding headache, but c’est la vie. The point is, going to a funk and soul themed night at a Spitalfields basement bar sounds a lot more fun than staying at home on a Thursday, so head to Umbrella Radio’s takeover at the Discount Suit Company for drinks, dancing, and an early start to your weekend." - Rianne Shlebak

"If you really don’t want to act like a tourist whilst you’re in London, then you should do these three things. Constantly complain about tube delays. Walk at an average of 10 miles per hour. And head to Discount Suit Company in Shoreditch, a great little basement bar that you’ll completely miss if you don’t know it’s there. Down an unmarked flight of stairs below an old Discount Suit Company sign, you’ll find lots of exposed brick, wooden stools, and some seriously good cocktails. Just be sure to book a table if you’re planning on coming at peak times." - Heidi Lauth Beasley, Jake Oliver

"The Discount Suit Company is another basement bar. The people behind it run a couple of other excellent London cocktail bars, so you can be confident that they take their liquor very seriously without being bores about it. Come here after the market traders at Petticoat Lane have gone home, and impress your date with your knowledge of hidden things when you take them down an unmarked flight of stairs below the old Discount Suit Company sign on the side of the building. Be warned though, it can get very busy down here, and it might be an idea to reserve a table." - Oliver Feldman
