Joyeux Bordel (Shoreditch)

• The Experimental Group is much more than just a clandestine Chinatown cocktail bar with a hard to please doorman
• Com the desk is open Mon Sat until 5pm
• I'd always opt for a seat at the bar myself this is where you'll find Adrien Russotto
• I unsurprisingly went in an agave direction with a superb Mezcal Negroni (Vida
• Rabarbaro) and an equally excellent Mezcal Highball creation with ginger ale
• Start off with a taste of ECC partner Xavier Padovani's Vulson White Rhino Rye which was only released in January read more here
• A late 1950s Grand Marnier was cracked open this week
• Joyeux Bordel is also going to be a hotspot for DJs
• The inoffensive DJ booth is part of the furniture rather than a garish corner feature
• Joyeux Bordel and is open till the delightfully early hours of the morning
• It's only a small dose of nonsense but all the best people have it
• The wonderful bartender Adrien Russotto will find you your very own little tiny glass and fill it with delicious vermouths and other concoctions (ok
• Waving the flag for Berlin is the lovely Sabrina and don't leave without tipping your proverbial hat at the other beauties at the bar
• Another favourable addition is the option of food
• Charcuterie boards are probably a welcome suggestion to accompany the boozy cocktails being whisked around the room
• Make sure you have a reservation cause there are people at the door whose job is to decide whether you may enter or not
• Most of the seats and tables are at knee height
• Perfect for a drink with some friends
• The sounds are soulful with a DJ at the weekend
• Just down to earth folk with an appreciation for an all round good bar
