Callooh Callay

London, United Kingdom

No. 11 on The World's 50 Best Bars 2013, No. 9 on The World's 50 Best Bars 2012, and No. 48 on The World's 50 Best Bars 2016.

A Shoreditch fixture since 2008, named after Lewis Carroll's 'Jabberwocky' and famous for the mirrored wardrobe door hiding its back room, plus the JubJub, a bar-within-the-bar. The cocktail list is rebuilt around a new theme every cycle: past menus arrived as cassette tapes and comic books, and the current 'Calloohpoly' names its drinks after East London streets, Monopoly-style. The World's 50 Best counts it among the trailblazers of London's cocktail resurgence.
