East London Bar Crawl

Tucked away behind a door you’d be forgiven for missing, lies this glorious bar.

The subterranean Nightjar will effortlessly transport your hen party from Shoreditch City Road, head-first into the prohibition era – with its live jazz and blues music, dark woody decor and speakeasy style interiors. You’ll be spoilt to a drinking experience worthy of Heston Blumenthal here, with cocktails delivered and created with a wonderful sense of theatre. And, that’s not all – you can even indulge in a genuine spirit distilled in the pre-prohibition era – it won’t come cheap, but your bragging rights will be massive.

Just over the road from Nightjar, this quirky cocktail palace is a must stop on any Shoreditch hen party bar crawl.

Stepping inside, you'll discover an edgy after-work party going crowd – ready to let their hair down amidst the relaxing, distinguished surroundings. The elegant, retro cocktail bar features a hugely creative and exotic drinks list - rustling up an array of experimental concoctions such as the lethal Lonely Cowgirl, the flirtatious La Bonita and the super chilled out Reclining Lotus.

Spanning over three floors, with a banging club and one of London’s most sought after rooftop terraces, this is definitely the place to ‘bee’. The main bar/club, which has swanky hive-themed walls, has a large bar and a dance floor with a DJ booth, making it a great place for a ‘buzzing’ party. Their rooftop terrace boasts amazing views over Shoreditch, and you can enjoy it whatever the weather, as it has a retractable canopy if it starts to rain. There are also firepits to keep you nice and cosy on an evening. Speakers are situated around the rooftop terrace meaning you don’t have to miss out on the amazing DJs – sweet!

Leave all sense at the door, as you step into a fairy tale.

There’s nowhere on earth quite like Ninetyeight Bar and Lounge. The magical wonderland is the perfect place to experience the quirkiness of London’s East end on your hen weekend – boasting everything from seats sculpted from balloons and zebra print boudoirs, to botanical balconies and even an entire room covered in bandages – this place is surreal. And, with a plethora of experimental cocktails, as well as popcorn and candy on offer – your taste buds will be as awestruck as your eyes.

Nestled on the busy Shoreditch High Street, is the contemporary Bull in a China Shop.

Brimming with character, the lovingly minimalistic bar is becoming more and more popular as the days go by. This specialist bar with an artistic persona serves an extensive selection of over 30 rare spirits, hailing from Japan, Ireland and Scotland. These spirits can be enjoyed within cocktails or neat, on the rocks for the hardcore out there. The interior decor is Asian inspired, with quirky, vintage touches – boasting an all-round laid-back, hipster atmosphere.

Living its life by the mantra, “free your mind and your ass will follow" – this place is a treat for all the senses.
