Hoxton Square has plenty of cool hangouts, but Colours Hoxton might just be the most fun of the lot. A short stroll from Old Street, this Colours Hoxton is a mash-up of bar, live music venue and late-night party hub, all drenched in neon thanks to The Colour Trap - a jaw-dropping LED installation by Burning Man artist Christopher Schardt.
It’s not just about the looks, though. Colours packs in a busy calendar of gigs, drag shows and DJ nights, plus karaoke rooms for those brave enough to grab the mic. There are four spaces to play with - the Main Bar, Live Room, Green Room and a private karaoke lounge, plus two terraces for alfresco sipping when the sun’s out.
Food comes from Pizza slingers Another Place, who serve up a compact menu of crispy, chewy Neapolitan pizzas. Toppings range from classic (Margherita with San Marzano tomato sauce and fior di latte) to some more contemporary ideas, like the Mortazza (garlic butter, fior di latte, pistachio pesto, and mortadella) or the Miele Piccante (tomato, fior di latte, Parmesan, salami, pepperoni, and hot honey). Save room for an outrageous nutella calzone dessert with pistachio.
Drinks are just as lively: think craft beers, cocktails and themed specials that match the party vibe. Saturdays are all about Drag Me to the Disco, a bottomless brunch with free-flowing booze and high-energy performances that guarantee a good time.
Open Tuesday to Saturday, Colours Hoxton is your go-to for after-work drinks, late-night dancing or a cheeky karaoke session. Whether you’re here for the wings, the beats or the Insta-worthy interiors, this Shoreditch favourite delivers big on fun.
