The Sun Tavern is one of my favorite places in London. The cocktails are amazing, not really into beers but I know they have a lot, staff is friendly, bref, it is a very super cool bar.
The Sun Tavern, formerly the Sun Tavern (a pub of that name has been there since 1851), is the second establishment from the guys behind the Discount Suit Co. and I’m happy to report that it is just as likeable as their first place. From the outside it doesn’t look open, but have faith and push open those doors. Inside is, indeed, what I would describe as a tavern – cosy and low-lit with blinds covering the windows giving it the darkened look from outside.I went at about 5pm on a Sunday afternoon for my first visit and there it was populated but there were still a few tables available. I went back again the other night – a Saturday night – and we again managed to get a seat, but only just. Discount Suit is an underground cocktail den, whereas this place is more pubby so you won’t feel like you’re missing the point if you have a wine (as I did on Saturday) or one of the local beers and ciders written on a board at the back of the bar. But, of course, they do still know their cocktails and this makes up the focus of the menu. So on that Sunday evening I had to try a couple in the time I was there. First up the Peach Fuzz. Gin, sherry, creme de peche, served in a metal tankard with a pile of ice like a julep. Their menu is divided into Tankard Drinks and Mixed Drinks. So I went for the 12 Mile Limit off the Mixed Drinks to try one of each. White rum, cognac, rye mixed with some grenadine and lime. This was my kind of drink. Strong and punchy and prettily garnished with flowers. And all the cocktails are either 7.50 or 8.00. My kind of prices. Well, sort of. Wine comes in choices of red, white or fizz and a very small glass (125ml) is 4.50. Expensive for unlabelled wine. Better to go for a bottle which is a very reasonable 16.Bethnal Green is turning into the place to be if it isn’t already and The Sun Tavern makes it even more of a worthy destination. jaminaward.wixsite.com
