The Shoreditch is your go-to for a night that starts classy and ends chaotic. Upstairs, you'll find an art deco-meets-Tiki lounge with pink flamingos and taxidermy tigers where you can sip on wild cocktails like the "Planet of the Apes" or the disco-inspired Studio 54. By midnight, the vibe shifts as the music turns commercial and the dance floor fills up—perfect for shedding your after-work demeanor and letting loose.
Tiki lounge meets dance club
The Shoreditch is a fascinating contradiction that somehow works. During the early evening, it's a chic lounge where you can sit and chat over cocktails served in garish tiki mugs—the decor is a wild mix of art deco glamour and tropical kitsch with pink flamingos and taxidermy tigers adding to the quirky atmosphere. The cocktail menu is extensive and creative, with drinks like "Planet of the Apes" (rum, bananas, exotic fruits) and the massive "Studio 54" punch for groups.
As the night progresses, the venue transforms into a proper club with commercial music and a packed dance floor. The two-floor setup works well—upstairs stays lounge-y while downstairs gets rowdy. The food is decent for bar snacks, with nachos and fondue available for sharing. It's not the most sophisticated venue in Shoreditch, but it's got character and knows how to throw a party.
