Discount Suit Company ★★★★★
Discover your new favourite cocktail, in an old tailor's stock room, at the Discount Suit Company, Spitalfields
Tucked away on an unlikely street behind Spitalfields, cocktail wizardry is happening. Descend the stairs on Wentworth Street, peek behind a curtain and you will find the Discount Suit Company. They just revamped their cocktail menu and it is truly great – with something for everyone and a menu which cleverly directs you to drinks you might not have heard of by noting shared characteristics with more familiar concoctions.
If you’re a hardened Old Fashioned drinker, why not try the Conference Call: a blend of whiskey, smoked and salted maple syrup, walnut bitters and toasted orange peel. Or, if you’re partial to a French 75, why not switch it up and try the Carrier Pigeon: a delicate balance of white rum, lemon, honey, lavender and prosecco. Our favourite, though, is probably the Love Potion, which arrives in a charming bottle to share between two, and certainly gives everything in the room a rosy glow by the time you reach the bottom.
The staff are welcoming and knowledgable, and always happy to create you a custom cocktail, based on what you love or would like to try. They are even patient enough teach you the pronunciation of 'Bán Poitín' ('bawn potcheen' apparently) – a mysterious Irish spirit found in their lethal Kneecapper cocktail. There is also a weekly changing cheese board from Neal’s Yard to balance all the booze.
We love the Discount Suit Company – it's the perfect place to go for an intimate drink or to catch up with friends. Just a stone’s throw from Spitalfields and Liverpool Street, but a world away from the commuter madness.
