Lowcountry is a stylish Southern-inspired cocktail bar and lounge nestled in the heart of Shoreditch, on Nile Street. Located in the bustling Hoxton area of East London, the venue sits below the acclaimed Counter 71 chef’s table restaurant, together forming a unique dual-concept destination that blends vibrant nightlife with refined dining in one iconic Shoreditch address.
The concept behind Lowcountry draws inspiration from the American South – specifically the coastal region stretching from Georgia through South Carolina – a place celebrated for its warm hospitality, rich food and drink traditions and relaxed communal spirit. This ethos is reflected in every element of the bar, from its welcoming interior to its drinks and bar snacks.
While Lowcountry is foremost a cocktail bar, the menu demonstrates serious craftsmanship with an extensive selection of expertly made drinks. The drinks list is divided into signature, historical and classic categories, offering modern reinterpretations of Southern staples alongside timeless favourites. Highlights include inventive serves such as the milk-clarified Painkiller, the jalapeño-kick Hot Tomato, the bourbon-forward Southern Ember and a Fat Fashioned made with bacon-washed bourbon and maple syrup. There’s also an impressive shelf of American whiskeys and bourbons to explore for tasting experiences.
In addition to drinks, Lowcountry offers a selection of Southern-inspired bar bites designed to complement its cocktails and whiskey. The atmosphere is intimate and relaxed, with rustic-chic décor, exposed brickwork and a cosy yet polished vibe that makes it ideal for pre-dinner drinks, late-night cocktails or social gatherings.
Open from early evening into the night, Lowcountry is a destination for those seeking a taste of Southern charm in one of London’s most energetic neighbourhoods. Altogether, Lowcountry brings a distinctive taste of the American South to Shoreditch, pairing polished cocktails with laid-back hospitality in a setting that feels both transportive and unmistakably East London.
