Note the capitals here – this is not a gay bar but an arty hangout provided by the City Arts & Music Project, hence the acronym.
Shoreditch creative James Priestley is behind it, so it’s a funky, urban spot, quite bare and open-plan, currently lined with photos taken by students for end-of-year grades. It’s a DJ venue too, with decks set up by a long bar counter where taps of Amstel and Heineken complement a short cocktail menu that includes a gin-and-elderflower smash and a CAMP spring punch.
The furniture feels somewhat institutional – empty, you’d expect an evening class to be starting pretty soon – but excitable early-evening chatter quickly lends a youthful, everything-to-live-for vibe.
