Rank 802. The Sun Tavern
Cocktail Bar
Raw brick, hanging tankards, and cabinets of curios give this Bethnal Green boozer the look of a pub that's been around forever, which it more or less has. In practice it's a cocktail bar wearing a tavern's coat, and the bartenders know exactly what they're doing. Ten taps pour ales from microbreweries within ten miles for anyone who wants to keep it simple, and punch bowls sit alongside for anyone who doesn't.

Rank 802. Timberyard
Modern British
The big red barn door on Lady Lawson Street opens into a former warehouse where exposed stone, timber beams, and a working wood stove set the tone for a Michelin-starred tasting-menu restaurant that takes Scandinavian-influenced, hyper-seasonal Scottish cooking seriously. Fermentation, foraging, and a genuine zero-waste ethos run through everything, including a cocktail list, named Cocktail List of the Year at the 2026 National Restaurant Awards, that makes things from its own meads and ferments.

Rank 802. TT Liquor
Cocktail Bar
A three-floor East London cocktail bar with a liquor store stocking over a thousand bottles, many of them rare, which already tells you something about the clientele. The cellar bar is the heart of it, candlelit and genuinely subterranean, while upstairs fills with masterclasses and tasting sessions most weekends. It sits on Kingsland Road, where the bar scene runs deep, and holds its own among stiff competition.

Italian
The menu arrives as a passport, which tells you more or less everything about this Kingsland Road bar. Three Italian founders turned a loaded piece of American slang into a name for the place they built after moving to London, and the concept holds together better than it has any right to. Expect an Italian-leaning wine list, draught beer, and food to go with it, all in a Shoreditch room that takes its own backstory seriously without losing the plot.
