Dream Bags Jaguar Shoes
-
I loved this place on first site because the owner had an original idea. It might have been a cost cutting experiment, but it was pure genius – don’t bother to renovate the outside of the bar at all. On approach it looks like a couple of dodgy old shops and hence the name was born Dream Bags (half of it’s an old bag shop) Jaguar Shoes (you can guess what they sold there). It all gives it the vibe of being a bit of a secret – although word got out long ago about this little gem. Once inside the nonchalance continues with the exposed brick walls, dotted with select pieces of artwork, and a couple of very well worn leather sofas. It’s Hoxton, so obviously the music is of the indie variety, but it’s well chosen and varied. There’s a good selection of drinks, especially cocktails - I had the best mojito of my life in this place (and I’ve had a few). I’ve got to admit that there can be a slight pretension in the air – but it is a London bar after all, so don’t let that stop you. If the Hoxton thing is your cup of tea, it’s definitely one not to miss.
