It was a rainy, miserable Friday night though Bar Kick and Queen of Hoxton about the agenda I knew the elements would not be able to dampen our spirits. There's a plethora of Shoreditch bars decide from for pre-drinks and Happy Hours but we decided to perform the Happy Hour at Bar Kick (among designmynight's cool, quirky bars london).

Bar Kick, Shoreditch

We arrived at half six, just in time to trap the happy hour that runs from 5pm-7pm each day. The bar was quite quiet currently and we got a table (they hadn't even opened the downstairs bar yet). The bar stuff are quick, helpful and friendly, which meant we weren't required to wait whatsoever to obtain a drink. The music was, at the moment, anything funky from Jamiroquai to Samba tunes. The decor is sort of a large south american hut with table football "pitches" lining one wall and tele screens about the wall. It's laid back, non pretentious with a excellent experience it. Bizzarely the spot really started to fill up after Happy Hour. In the blink of an eye the spot was pretty jam-packed. At 9 a DJ began to play more dancey music and also the place came alive. We squeezed onto one of the table footballs, each seeming to acquire their own little crowd watching, and also have a few games collectively and also played some intrepid challengers! It's a great way to meet people and have fun banter - which goes over all this place. Most people are there to get fun, take pleasure in the laid-back vibe as well as the tasty cocktails.

Queen of Hoxton, Shoreditch

It was my first time to Queen of Hoxton. I needed heard about it and contains been in my bars to visit in Shoreditch list for a long time! We arrived around 11ish and were able to walk straight in. It is extremely an expansive bar. Sitting areas along the right hand side, the bar flanks the left and areas to face, chat/dance in between. It provides a dark, cinematic, stylish design feel. The bar was long with lots of staff so, although very busy, we did not have to wait a long time for your drinks. The prices were happily affordable.

We headed downstairs for the club area. A small, dark, den of iniquity or a "youth club for adults" as they input it themselves. Busy, sweaty and sexy as individuals were dancing about to some fantastic house music. The little stage even were built with a girl ad-libbing over a few of the tunes. I think that summed up as of this place; you will never quite know what to anticipate here but no matter what you know it will be out of this world and you will appreciate it. They also have a spectacular roof garden - probably among the best in London - that is normally open everyday but as a result of terrible climate conditions, it was shut. Achieved it live up to the billing? Yes I think it did! It has to become one of the best bars in Shoreditch for me personally. I might be confident that no night is ever a poor one at the Queen of Hoxton and wether you want to drink, chat, dance, relax or just feel cool then you can do everything here.
