This sleek Shoreditch hangout is a far cry from the sports bar that formerly resided here. Describing itself as 'tailor made to perfection', Singer Tavern is now a cocktail hotspot for the polished after work crowd of Moorgate and Shoreditch.
The venue itself boasts a rich history. This Grade II-listed building is the former home of Singer Sewing Machines (made pretty obvious once you take a look at the pub's logo). Inside you'll find minimalist warehouse-like decor, along with green and white tiled walls, rustic wooden furniture and a U-shaped bar in the centre, stocked with a fun and exotic selection.
A crowd favourite for work drinks, Singer Tavern has an impressive array of exotic kegs, draught beers and niche international botanicals. Expect to find around two dozen beers on regular rotation from the likes of Magic Rock and Gypsy Hill. There's also an expansive and carefully chosen wine menu spanning the globe, and if that's not enough, head on down below street level to the 5CC cocktail bar, one of only five hidden-within pubs in London.
All that excitement is bound to leave you feeling peckish. Luckily, Singer Tavern offers an excellent range of pub and gastropub classic dishes. If you're swinging on by during your lunch break, be sure to check out the lunch wraps- halloumi, hot sauce, lettuce, tomato and red onion is a winning combo.
When after-work drinks inevitably turn into after-work dinner, there's no shortage of options. Dig into some padron peppers or chorizo and cheddar croquettes with aioli to kick things off, before moving onto nourishment bowls, chicken katsu curry with jasmine rice or the intriguing ramen chicken burger with sriracha ketchup.
Sticky toffee pudding with salted caramel or some ice cream union sorbets are the ideal way to finish your night before venturing out into the buzzing Shoreditch air.
