A website with just a phone number and a note: 'by appointment'. An unmarked door, a fire escape down into the gloom. So far, so hooch bar.
Forget clichéd Roaring Thirties glamour, this den of iniquity does it with sixties Communist style, and boy is it sexy. Slinky curves, Shoreditch trendies seducing each other at the next table, menus hidden inside books of Czech fairy tales (honestly dahling, what else?) and sultry low hanging lights. The cocktails (£7.70-£14) are both sublime and ridiculous. Rum infused with a Cuban cigar served over vanilla candy-floss anyone?
