We all love a hard-to-find bar. It just adds to the frisson of excitement if you have to work a little to get in the front door, doesn’t it? Whether you’re after a subterranean cocktail place (hello, Happiness Forgets and Supermax) or a 500-year-old pub hidden down an alley (good day, Ye Olde Mitre), there’s nothing quite like it. Pleasingly, you’ll need all your powers of deduction to locate this King’s Cross gem, which is tucked away on an admirably obscure industrial estate. Here you’ll find Tileyard Studios, a collection of arty offices that’s also home to the Two Tribes brewery, which serves up an ever-changing menu, live music and top-tier DJs in a spacious taproom and ‘outdoor event space’ dubbed Campfire. The kitchen’s closed in the winter months, but the Two Tribes motto, “Drink to the beat of a different drum”, applies all year round.
What’s nearby?
Coal Drops Yard, a world-class shopping and foodie destination, is just a 15-minute walk away (and much easier to find).
Drink this
Campfire, a hazy IPA bursting with fruity flavour and coconut, is pint-sized perfection.
