A Bauhaus-themed bar with only multicoloured shapes above its door, A Bar With Shapes For A Name in Dalston is a fine choice for a late-night martini.
mood A Bauhaus-themed bar with only multicoloured shapes above its door
Yes, it’s inspired by the Bauhaus design school of interwar Germany, and yes, it has three colourful shapes instead of a name over the door. But for all its braininess, this neighbourhood bar in Haggerston (previously acclaimed among the World’s 50 Best) never forgets that you’re here to have fun. The menu focuses on a short run of pre-bottled, affordable house cocktails, many served with molecular garnishes like a tiny cube of Campari jelly. Friendly staff clad in colourful boiler suits are happy to explain the science.
mood Bauhaus design school inspired, three colourful shapes over the door, brainy but fun, friendly staff in colourful boiler suits.
A very, very late-night bar inspired by the Bauhaus design school of interwar Germany - but, like, fun!
