Tucked away off the Islington Green end of Essex Road, 69 Colebrooke Row bears an impressive pedigree. Opened in mid 2009, it's the brainchild of Tony Conigliaro, familiar from his work at the likes of Isola, Roka and Shochu Lounge, and Camille Hobby-Limon, who runs the nearby Charles Lamb pub.

With just a handful of tables supplemented by a few stools at the bar, it may be smaller than your front room, but the understated, intimate space proves a fine environment in which to enjoy the pristine cocktails (liquorice whisky sours, El Presidentes - made on request - with their own-made grenadine and Havana Club Barrel Proof rum), mixed with quiet ceremony by an elegantly bow-tied Conigliaro.

Still, for all the excellence of the drinks, it's the little touches (impeccably attired staff, handwritten bills, tall glasses of water poured from a cocktail shaker) that elevate this lovely enterprise from the pack.

Best drinks in London. Atmosphere is salacious and intimate. Hot bartenders & wait staff. Definitely an ideal date spot.

Worst birthday experience ever! We booked a table for ten, we were told several times that USUALLY they only accept a booking for 6 but they were going to make an exception. On the night we arrived 10minutes late (hey, have you ever caught the tube!) they had already removed one of our tables! By the time all ten of us arrived they decided that they're going to remove one more table, cause it's not right if people are sitting comfortbally whilst enjoying their drink! Three of us ended up sharing two chairs! The service wasn't great and when one of us decided not to pay the full DISCRETIONARY service charge she was told by the rude staff that she had to pay the full service charge, thereby defeating the purpose of it being discretionary.
If you decide to go, don't bother booking, make sure you're not more than 4 people and don't expect any friendly service.
To the TIme Out critcs please don't reconsider your rating!
