Bar Lotus

Student noteA cosy cocktail bar in Dalston with dim, relaxed lighting, perfect for unwinding after class. The owner and bartenders are really friendly, and you can just ask them to recommend something or adjust it to your taste. The taro yoghurt cocktail and strawberry yoghurt cocktail are worth trying, though the Ube Ramos is a bit average. For snacks, the Chinese chill and chicken legs, plus the fries, have a strong Chinese flavour that'll take you straight back home.
