Candlelit cocktail bar with vinyl, savory 'Flor' cocktail
"A bar on Hackney Road known for the Flor, a cocktail likened to a transparent gazpacho."
"If you look through the window of this Hackney Road bar, the candlelit scene inside 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’. We’d want to sit in this room even if they only served Smirnoff Ice, but the cocktails are simple yet stunning. It’s home to one of the best Negronis in London and a refreshing olive oil vodka, fino sherry, and distilled tomato situation that we can knock back with, frankly, worrying ease.

"Never underestimate the power of candlelight and vinyl—we’re pretty sure that without that hot combo we never would have been conceived. Moving swiftly on, Equal Parts is a cosy, classy bar on Hackney Road that exudes charm. Kind of like you after you’ve had one of their expert Negronis. The lighting is incredibly flattering, the vinyl will seamlessly prompt some casual music chat, and it’s lively enough that no one will overhear you asking them about their siblings." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna
"Equal Parts is the new cocktail bar from the team behind Sager + Wilde. A short stroll from Columbia Road, it’s clad in sea-green tiles, lit by candles, and is really, really ridiculously good-looking. Come for coffee and pastries during the day and artichoke-infused negronis in the evening. " - Daisy Meager, Sinead Cranna
"Equal Parts exudes easygoing charm. There’s candlelight flickering behind the steamy windows and the lively atmosphere inside the Hackney bar, crafted from a mix of vinyl playing and glasses clinking, will draw you in. The excellent classic negroni will keep you coming back like a moth to a vermouth-soaked flame. In addition to gin and vermouth, the Campari is infused with a changing seasonal ingredient—we tried the artichoke Campari which added a pleasing herbal note. A single giant ice cube ensures it’s chilled without diluting the drink. The real key, though, is a dash of salt which is pretty undetectable but harmonises the bitter, earthy flavours." - heidi lauth beasley, daisy meager
