This mixology bar signposted by not words but shapes – a yellow triangle, red square and blue circle – has some big names behind it: Remy Savage (formerly of Little Red Door in Paris and The Artesian in London) and Paul Lougrat and Maria Kontorravdis (previously at Sexy Fish). An ode to the school of Bauhaus; everything inside has been designed through the prism of functionalism and minimalism. The furniture and space take you to 1920s Weimar, while the mixed drinks are made from an intentionally restricted (and blind tasted) back bar of spirits. The drinks are top-notch. Opens 8pm-4am. 30mn walk (or half by bus). 232 Kingsland Rd, Whitmore Estate, London E2 8AX
