Juju’s Bar & Stage

You might have heard about this Shoreditch spot from its high-quality output of gigs, talks, art shows, DJ sets and exhibitions. However, it stands alone pretty well as a bar too, with a really solid selection of craft beer (Crate and Roadie on the tap, Hammerton, Brick Lane and more by the can/bottle), as well as a cracking cocktail list that goes big on mezcal, plenty of which is available from their partnership with Quiquiriqui mezcal brand ambassador, Tom Blay.

And if you’re only really interested in the gigs and stuff? You’re in exceptional hands. A lot of it is free (including an awesome all-day disco), with DJ sets, parties and special events alongside gigs from up-and-comers, a great Brazilian night, and a rock karaoke session aptly called ‘Rockaoke’. Juju’s plays a big part in the London Jazz Festival programming too, so keep an eye out for those gigs every November.
