Description
Chiave is a tucked-away gem on Redchurch Street in Shoreditch, where Italian elegance meets East London's creative energy. Its intimate upstairs space is adorned with warm wood, exposed brick, and low lighting, creating a cosy yet sophisticated atmosphere. The name - Italian for “key” - is reflected in the thoughtful design: a backlit bar showcasing a curated spirit selection, mid-century accents, and a refined yet welcoming vibe that feels tailored to both after-work quiet sips and a playful prelude to a night out.
What truly sets Chiave apart is its fusion of mixology and music. Every cocktail is crafted with precision - think smoky tequila-meets-mezcal margaritas, delicate espresso martinis with Turkish coffee and garnished with lokum, and herb-infused signatures like cherry-thyme vodka blends. Each drink is linked to a song via QR-coded playlists, reinforcing the bar’s identity as a music-first venue. Descend to the basement and you find a speakeasy-style music space with a DJ booth and impressive speakers, offering a vibrant contrast to the upstairs lounge. It’s a space where vinyl lovers and cocktail enthusiasts converge, seamlessly blending conversation with curated beats.
Complementing the drinks are thoughtful nibbles - Italian-inspired bar snacks such as olives, vine leaves, popcorn, and charcuterie - that enhance the relaxed, convivial atmosphere. Chiave strikes a rare balance in Shoreditch: stylish without being ostentatious, creative yet grounded, and lively without losing intimacy.
