While walking around Shoreditch, we stumbled across Lounge Bohemia, which I can only describe as a retro, speakeasy-vibes, pretentious-but-enjoyable experience.

They “required” a reservation but let us sit down anyway. We tried a few of the tasting menus and the “drinks” were truly unique.

A row of small black droppers set into a white ceramic tray, each capped with a differently colored latex tip and partially covered with crinkled silver foil, suggesting precise, experimental cocktail preparation with a playful, theatrical presentation.A smooth, pale yellow clarified cocktail sphere resting in a tightly woven twig nest, its matte surface and careful placement giving it the feel of an edible sculpture served as part of a tasting course.A glass topped with a thick, glossy cap of white foam, pierced by a tiny metal tap and spoon, creating a whimsical, interactive drink that looks rich, creamy, and meticulously constructed.An open menu listing classic cocktails and five-course tasting menus, including themes such as “naughty childhood,” “nature,” and “west meets east.”
