Been a bit slack on updating the blog of recent so apologies to all 5 of you following. I was out with an old mate on Friday and he told me about an East London secret speakeasy under a bar on Broadway Market. Apparently you had to lock yourself in a cubicle, flush the toilet and a hatch would open inviting you in upon providing the secret entry word. Naturally I was all over it so we headed on over, only to be disappointed that the door was already (seemingly permanently) open so need need for all of the secret shenanigans. However they had the best selection of rums I’ve seen anywhere and you were given a dusty old book with the full list to choose from. Favourites included the (Venezuelan) Diplomatico Exclusiva Reserva, Angostura 1824 (Trinidad) and of course, Chairman’s Reserve from the eponymous Bernie’s home – St. Lucia. I highly recommend a visit if you’re over by London Fields.
