Hidden Grooves

Drinks are the main event here, with a creative cocktail list that riffs on iconic ’70s albums, delivering bold, playful serves with a modern twist. Alongside that, a menu of seasonal small plates and bar bites keeps things sociable, from Korean-fried cauliflower to indulgent bites like crispy dates with blue cheese and bacon. The whole experience leans into sharing, discovery and just a touch of music geekery, whether you’re crate-digging through records or settling in for an easy-going night with friends.

A relatively new addition to Shoreditch’s ever-evolving scene, Hidden Grooves is part of the wider Virgin Hotels London launch, spearheaded by Sir Richard Branson’s global hospitality brand. While it’s not about Michelin stars or fine dining credentials, this is a destination that thrives on atmosphere, originality and a strong sense of identity. For those after something a little more curated than your standard late-night bar, it’s a standout spot where great cocktails and even better sound take centre stage.
