Brought to Dalston courtesy of the guys behind Bethnal Green’s Satan’s Whiskers, Silk Stockings is an intimate cocktail bar specialising in a rare and interesting selection of tequila mixes.

Perfect for laid-back lounge on Dalston Lane, Silk Stockings doffs its cap to the low-lit, neighbourhood hangouts of New York City. Guests settle in at snug leather booths and get to know a cocktail menu stocked with classic, contemporary and seasonal drinks. Signature serves include the Old Pal (campari, rye, dry vermouth) and Salty Dog (vodka, fresh pink grapefruit juice, pink salt).

The back bar comes bulked out with a range of rare and interesting tequilas, the hip-hop soundtrack creates a gentle buzz and a range of antipasti and charcuterie boards are up for grabs if you should fancy something to pick at.
