Mayor of Scaredy Cat Town

Part of the trend for ‘secret’ speakeasies, this one is a basement bar beneath the Spitalfields branch of the Breakfast Club. The entrance is the one that looks like a big Smeg fridge door. Go inside and you’ll find a quirky, dimly lit cocktail bar clad in exposed brick and wood: it’s all a bit like a cabin from 'Twin Peaks'. The drinks menu makes an amusing mockery of more self-conscious ‘underground’ venues. The cocktails– classics and house specials – are well crafted on the whole.
