Ninetyeight Bar & Lounge (Shoreditch)

• Almost missing the awning which is the only sign that this bar exists
• Otherwise it is very easy to miss
• The staff had not yet been made aware of the deal that we were trying to avail ourselves of
• Some phone calls were made and they happily made us the free drink we&rsquo
• I think it can best be described as &lsquo
• It was London Cocktail Week and bars all over London were offering a signature cocktail
• So we popped in for a drink before we headed to Beard to Tail for our dinner (they are opposite each other)
• The cocktail on offer was called the Gentleman&rsquo
• It had a whiskey base I believe and was topped off with nutmeg
• Salted popcorn was brought over
• I thought it was a lovely little extra touch
• I hope that when the Cocktail Week bus made its way to Shoreditch it brought with it some more customers
• I do get the feeling that this is one of the lesser known bars in Shoreditch it certainly doesn&rsquo
• Lots of little adjoining rooms each with different atmosphere
• I loved the little room at the back where all the furniture (Louis XV chairs) was wrapped up in white hospital gauze
• The room where a walnut grand piano served as a large communal table was quite cool too
• Complimentary popcorn was served in dainty china tea cups
• My only objection was having to watch an older couple necking passionately at the bar
