A Wonderland-themed Shoreditch bar with a genuine secret: a back room reached through a wardrobe in the front bar — ask the staff, and they'll let you through if there is space. The playfulness is real but so is the craft; the cocktails are technically excellent and have won awards, theme aside. Come early, because the hidden back room fills fast and finding the wardrobe entrance is half the fun. It is the rare themed bar where the gimmick and the quality reinforce each other rather than one carrying the other — whimsical on the surface, serious underneath.
