"The candlelit scene at this Hackney Road bar will draw you in like a moth to a cocktail-fuelled flame. There’s vinyl playing, glasses clinking, and incredibly flattering lighting that we’re dubbing ‘flickering golden hour filter’. The cocktails are simple yet stunning. It’s home to one of the best Negronis in London and the Flor—a refreshing olive oil vodka, fino sherry, and distilled tomato situation that we can knock back with worrying ease." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna
"Home to more than 20 beers on tap, this East-End brewery offers a slew of options, ranging from hazy pale ales like the Medina Sod to cult favorite creations like the Kaizen, a Japanese red rice lager. Every third Saturday of the month, the brewery hosts the Macabre Market, featuring a rotating selection of off-beat artisans offering their wares in a non-judgmental space." - Brianna Griff
"If you’ve ever wanted to drink a beer in the Conservatory of the board game Clue, then check out Equal Parts in EaDo. It’s filled with as many houseplants as tap and is known for its crisp lagers and hazy IPAs. We also like their beer that gets kick-started with koji rice molds, the fruited sours, and barrel-aged porters pumped up with chocolate and cinnamon flavors. So grab a couple of mixed fights, take advantage of the free wifi, and bop along to the old-school pop-punk that always seems to be playing." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
"From 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., this East Downtown brewery will go all out for 713 Day with its “Reja Sol” or “Sun Gate” 713 event. Enjoy contemporary art installations, live music, a fashion show, DJs playing vinyl, and board games, plus a photo booth to document the memories. Topo Chico and non-alcoholic drinks will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, and craft beer and wine will be available for purchase." - Brittany Britto Garley
"A Second Ward brewery tapped to collaborate on a late-July installment of a sensory-driven dinner series, providing a beer-focused partner for a multidisciplinary culinary event." - Brittany Britto Garley
