The Cocktail Club Old Street

A quirky, award-winning cocktail bar in Shoreditch with vintage decor. Suitable for parties up to 160.

Callooh Callay opened in November 2008. At the time, cocktail bars in Shoreditch were few and far between. We wanted to open a venue that delivered high-quality drinks and service, but without any of the pretension that came along with those things in 2008. We also wanted to do things a little differently with our design and with our menus, for which we have become pretty famous.

In the 13 years which have followed, we've been very lucky to have made drinks for, and served, hundreds of thousands of guests. We've been even luckier to win an award or 2 from our peers along the way.
