"Closing time: 2am Sunday to Thursday, 3am Friday and Saturday Tealights after midnight is not only the name of our pending self-help book, it’s also what you’ll find at this moody Dalston bar where exposed brick reigns supreme. The cocktails are best suited to those who like a moment with a sazerac or a silky egg white creation, but nothing about High Water is pretentious. We’ve even been known to abandon nights out at clubs so that we can crawl back into the arms of High Water’s smoky mezcal take on an Old Fashioned." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley
"There’s no funny business at High Water but, respectfully, there is quite a bit of PDA. This straightforward Stoke Newington Road bar is totally unpretentious and has that whole sexy crypt thing going on—exposed brick, a certain sensual l’odeur de cave, just enough candlelight to be able to see any cheeky winks come nightfall. The menu is packed full of sloe gin and mezcal takes on the classics, and we have a real soft spot for the short but sweet wine selection. For high hopes and lingering first dates, it’s open until 2am every night of the week." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna
"Some cocktail bars are all moustached mixologists and funky ingredients. Others are pumping music and too cool for school. But High Water is neither of these. It’s just a straightforward, not too fancy, moodily-lit cocktail bar that wants you to have a good time (and get drunk). This is a pretty-much-everyone bar that’s totally unpretentious. The drinks are decent and under a tenner, the inside perfect for boozy dates and boisterous groups alike, and there’s seating out front on the strip as well." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
