Cocomo Bar (Old Street - London)

Cocomo Bar

Can't find a decent photo of this place anywhere, it is essentially a hawaiin hut-like bar slap bang on Old Street among countless bars that look the same. But indeed looks are decieving. Inside Cocomo bar is a very welcome bar crew running a rather small bar in an even smaller venue but with great cocktail-preparing tools at their finger tips- i have never seen so many blenders behind a bar. Their strawberry Dakeri, though not traditionally made is out of this world and cocktails cost from £5.75 with a happy hour before 8pm with cocktails falling to almost half that price. There are a few tables upstairs and in the basement a couple of couches in a dimly lit red haze of what feels like some kind of egyptian den except with misplaced Christmas lights for decoration. It has a nice atmosphere and chilled out music and is open until about 2am.

Overall it is really tiny but with a nice atmosphere if not a little strange. Not as comfortable as I was hoping but cocktails to die for. 6/10.
