Morrell House 98 Curtain Road, Shoreditch, London, EC2A 3AF View Map
ninetyeight lounge and bar is a top Shoreditch cocktail bar infused with a mischievous mix of toys, sweets and luscious, quirky décor. In the midst of Curtain Road, basement bar ninetyeight is a breath of fresh air, providing an uplifting retreat for like-minded individuals. Voted top cocktail bar in London, ninetyeight is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before.
Expect the unexpected. "If it's crazy, we do it", says Kath (the owner). The mixologists know their stuff too, which is evident in the quite simply delicious cocktail concoctions. This is a must go to bar for birthday drinks, dates and pre-drinks in Shoreditch.
ninetyeight is also a great bar to hire for a birthday or celebration party as you can hire the whole venue out, or they have a cool back room that can be hired out for 30-50 people and is a lot more affordable than having the whole bar.

Absolutely and utterly disappointed! I was organising a hen weekend last Saturday and couldn’t wait to take the group to 98 bar after the brilliant review I had read. I had been told when paying our deposit that I had to be there within a 30 minute period or our table would be given up – fair enough. However, we turned up and were told they weren’t open, even though we were due. Then they had no record of our reservation. There was no table made up for us and I had to take my stack of paperwork to one side to prove that we really had booked a table, and paid a deposit. The only excuse given was that the girl I had booked through had left! Even though I booked and paid two months before the hen do! I asked about the lickable candle wax mentioned on this website and was given a look of total confusion. Apparently they have never had homemade lickable candles in the lounge? The gourmet goodies given with our cocktails was popcorn – hardly gourmet! Especially as we had all assumed there would be some sweets. The bar detail gourmet treats and choctails on their site of which there are neither. We were also brought over the wrong cocktails which was irritating as there wasn’t many of us. There was no atmosphere and the staff were narky with us from the moment we turned up. I wouldn’t recommend the lounge for hen weekends, it was not remotely special and was, fortunately, the only big let down of our weekend.

Great place to go to if you want something different or trying to impress! The decor is simply cooky and feels like you're in your crazy aunt's living room, the drinks are equally inventive and the owner made my visit welcoming and lovely. Don't be shy to ask the bar man to rustle you up something off the menu as Cath and her team are always inventing new and fabulous drinks- my strawberry job went down a treat! Shame it closes quite early but it's a great place for a mid week drink!

Luckily the owner wasnt there when I went so I dont have the same criticism as Flang! I really enjoyed this bar. I found it in one of the secret bar features on this site and thats exactly what it is...a hidden, cool bar that I never knew existed and is hidden below the busy shoreditch streets! Only a small staircase lets you know its down there. Really amazing decor, very tasty and creative cocktails and a good funky soundtrack. A great place to catch up with mates or for sophisticated birthday drinks gatherings. I will be back!!

Nice place pity about the owner... she doesn't let customers enjoy themselves and she makes the whole experience uncomfortable and creepy. I won't go back again.

Visited here on a Thursday night. Once you find the place you will never want to leave! Everything from the bar to the staff to the seating is cute, sumptuous and alluring. The drinks themselves are delicious and reasonably priced, 98 is well worth a visit.
