As its name suggests, the mood is set to funky at this Peckham Rye bar. That’s mostly down to a soundtrack that shows some serious flair, spinning vinyl and playing shoulder-shimmying classics from the Fatback Band to Funkadelic (they even sell records too, if you want a side of crate-digging with your cocktails).
The look is bright and fun - far more in line with modern Peckham than a fur-covered shag pad, while their list of cocktails is as tight as a Chaka Khan chorus. There are intriguing spins on familiar favourites, such as their Bananaperol Spritz (made with a banana-infused version of the spirit, plus pet-nat wine) or a Frosé Paloma, where rosé is added to a traditional tequila and grapefruit combo. You can even buy some of their cocktails bottled, to take home.
Order this: A homage to their home, the Rye Lane cocktail combines rye whisky, martini, fennel seeds and olive brine. They’ve also got a couple of tasty zero-percent offerings, made using Everleaf Forest non-alcoholic aperitif.
Time Out tip: Funkidory’s vinyl shop isn’t just limited to funk - have a peruse for all your disco, hip hop, jazz needs and more.
