Saint Monday, 4 Warburton Road, E8<\/p>\n
Microbrewery and metal bar, hidden under East End railway arches. Go for thrashing guitars, beers brewed freshly on site, skull\u2019s head taps and, frankly, too many piercings. Besides its own-brewed beers, there are guest pours from across the world, plenty of cocktails and a spirits selection up there with the best of them. Decent smoking area, too. <\/p>\n
Renegade Urban Winery, Walthamstow and Bethnal Green<\/p>\n
Renegade winery, right, bills itself as breaking the rules, one bottle at a time. Perhaps. Or perhaps it\u2019s just making very decent wine with quirky labelling. Founders buy grapes from across the UK and Europe, and turn them into interesting wines without any added yeast, and without filtering. They try to never repeat a wine: go to either site\u2019s bar to sit in and sip your way through whatever they\u2019re working on. A bottle to takeaway? Rude not to. <\/p>\n
The East London Liquor Lab, 382 Mentmore Terrace, E8<\/p>\n
Big on spirits? Head to the East London Liquor Co\u2019s white-walled lab, where for \u00a375 drinkers can spend two hours playing about \u2014 and, crucially, tasting \u2014 the brand\u2019s various whiskies, before blending a 300ml bottle of your own creation. Consider it a scientific way to get smashed. <\/p>\n
The Tiroler Hut, 27 Westbourne Grove, W2<\/p>\n
One for the schnapps fans (do they exist?) Since 1967, the Tiroler Hut has been serving schnitzel and strudel with a side of clarinet and triumphant cow bell performances. It has attracted the rich, famous and debauched \u2014 Kate Moss, ticking all three boxes, was once a regular. It is a London must. <\/p>\n
Bimber distillery, 56 Sunbeam Road, NW10<\/p>\n
Though its name means \u201cmoonshine\u201d in Polish, Bimber is London through and through. Co-founder Ewelina Chruszczyk began the brand more than a decade ago, producing in North Acton extremely high-end single malt whisky with traditional techniques, in notably limited quantities. See how they do it yourself with a two-hour, \u00a340 distillery tour, which includes a tasting. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Saint Monday, 4 Warburton Road, E8 Microbrewery and metal bar, hidden under East End railway arches.
