Craft Cocktail Co. (Bethnal Green)

• CCC's neon sign drew us in to their attractive bar which was sadly rather empty compared to the buzzing Mother Kelly's &
• The upside though was full attention from the friendly staff
• I should explain Craft Cocktail Co is no ordinary cocktail bar
• Hidden round the back is their own little factory for creating large batches of cocktails
• So we went round to look at the process with words like vats and pasteurisation being thrown around not necessarily what you want to hear when talking about making cocktails but there you go
• Especially if you are going to buy a pint of the stuff
• Hot Blooded Mary Craft in house vodka infused with Kashmiri chilli peppers
• The slightly more exciting drinks with the likes of Petits Pois infused gin
• I would love to see them succeed as they are trying to do something different
• Especially with the rest of the Paradise Row dream team nearby
• For the moment it is a little disappointing and the house cocktails need a lot of work
• When the competition is Peg + Patriot and Satan's Whiskers
• I was worried the place might be empty but there were a few people buzzing about
• Even if it wasn't full and we were able to sit down no problem
• The drinks we had were strong enough
• A lot of cocktail bars are the sorts of places that you would save for a special occasion but this just felt like a bar that happened to serve cocktails
