The 14 Best Bars In Shoreditch - London - The Infatuation

"There’s something about drinking in the presence of vinyl that makes us feel 70% cooler, even if we only recently found out that a ‘hi-fi bar’ isn’t a type of sports shoe. Such is the case with Mad Cats, a shochu spritz den and Japanese-leaning small plates spot on Redchurch Street. The food is mostly serviceable but you’re here to brood—the lighting is power-cut-levels dark—and swap secrets over sake." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing

Mad Cats - Review - Shoreditch - London - The Infatuation

"Mad Cats is a Shoreditch hi-fi bar that’s full of boxy white t-shirt-wearers snacking on Japanese-leaning small plates and chatting underneath handsome, mahogany subwoofers. Something about being this close to so much vinyl will make you feel 70% cooler, even if your own record collection doesn’t extend beyond the ‘evermore’ album. The lighting, which is power cut-levels of dark, sets the scene for intimate catch-ups at the bar—our favourite place to sit so you can watch sochu spritzes being made and DJs leafing through record sleeves. The food mostly falls under the category of serviceable, with some standouts like the tender beef short rib and refreshing cauliflower salad. But it’s plenty good enough to pick at while listening to some music, or your friend’s blow by blow recap of their week. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Pause Unmute Food Rundown Chicken Skewers The sweet, sticky kecap manis glaze on these is nice. The chicken is nice. It’s all just… fine. But there are better things going on elsewhere on the menu and we forgot about these once we were a few small plates down. photo credit: Sinéad Cranna Cauliflower Salad You know you’ve reached adulthood when you say things like, “the textures in this dish are great”. But they really are. The kohlrabi is fresh and crunchy, the avocado creamy, and we like the scattering of chopped almonds and seeds as well. photo credit: Sinéad Cranna Beef Short Rib A hunk of gelatinous beef, so dark with rich, earthy mole that it’s almost black, comes on top of a circle of sweet, nutty cauliflower purée. It looks impressive and it tastes even better. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Chocolate Mousse There is a lot of olive oil and a lot of flaky salt on this chocolate mousse. It has been taken right to the edge of the acceptable amount of those things. It manages to stay on the right side, just, thanks to the hefty portion of smooth, indulgent mousse. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch" - Sinéad Cranna

Mad Cats has such a great vibe...A cool, relaxed atmosphere with lovely, friendly staff and the best cocktails. The jazz music adds the perfect ambience, loud enough to enjoy, but still at a level where you can comfortably chat. We only had a few nibbles and a delicious Crème Brûlée for dessert this time, but we’ll definitely be back to try more of the food! The manager went above and beyond by helping me create a special tray of cupcakes for my friend’s birthday, which made the whole evening even more special. Overall, the experience was wonderful, and I can’t recommend Mad Cats enough!

Mad Cats was definitely one of my favourite meals of 2025 so far! It was a spectacular experience, and I will definitely be back to try some of the desserts or catch a DJ set. Food wise, everything was a hit! We got the cauliflower salad, crab brioche, and the yellowtail carpaccio and everything was stellar. We also tried the midnight pounce and Freya's whiskers cocktails, with the midnight pounce being a definite standout. It was complex and masterfully blended unique flavours all while pairing perfectly with the food. The one slight let-down was that the night we went, multiple items on an already brief menu were out of stock; however, our waitress Daniella did a fantastic job giving alternate suggestions and recommendations. The atmosphere is also seriously cool with inspired art on the walls and fun decor. The restaurant is small but you're still able to hold a conversation over the noise. I'm definitely curious about going later when there's a live DJ, but we had a fantastic time either way!

Live music (dj), good service, drinks got to our table so quick. Music equipment is high end. Excellent space. Haven't order food to know how good it is.

From the moment we stepped into the venue, everything exceeded our expectations. The ambiance was warm and inviting, striking the perfect balance between elegant and relaxed. The staff were incredibly welcoming, attentive without being intrusive, and genuinely passionate about the food and service. Now, the food — absolutely phenomenal. Every dish was a work of art, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. From the appetizers to the dessert, each bite was a testament to the chef's skill and creativity. You could taste the quality of the ingredients and the care that went into every preparation. The Sake — smooth, perfectly chilled, and paired flawlessly with our meal. It elevated the entire dining experience. Whether you're a Sake enthusiast or trying it for the first time, this place knows how to serve it right. Mad Cats delivers on every level — food, drinks, service, and ambiance. A perfect spot for a special night out. Whether you're a seasoned foodie or just looking for an extraordinary meal, this place is an absolute must. I can’t wait to return and try more from their exceptional menu. Highly, highly recommended!😊

I loved everything about this bar – the atmosphere, the taste, the service, the music, even the cocktail straws and the Le Labo hand soap in the bathroom! I’ll definitely bring my friends next time. The best bar on Redchurch Street for sure!

Instant favorite. The atmosphere is always on point, and I love that they were spinning groovy vinyl beats on a Wednesday. Incredible food and cocktails and shoutout to Edgard for the super friendly and welcoming vibes. Definitely keeping an eye out for upcoming events!

There’s an amazing atmosphere to Mad Cats as soon as you walk in, which will be hard to rival! The music selection is top quality and sound-system setup is stunning. Food selection is great with some stunning cocktails and wines to accompany your meal. Overall, great and attentive service from the team there.

Very stylish interiors with a delicious menu of small plates. I loved the cross cultural inspiration and the zaatar drink and olive sake are a must try. A rare gem!!
