The Bottle Cocktail Shop, N1

David Walton left this review about The Bottle Cocktail Shop

Visited previously on 22/02/23 but neglected to add as a new venue in N1 at that time.

Small venue just off Upper St around the (newish still) development here. This is the sort of place that has been conceived to appeal to wider audience than (craft) beer drinkers as the beer options are somewhat below you would expect from the great range of such venues these days. There are a number of cocktail options also, including take away options. The venue is quite small but does have some outside seating around the two external, large pane glass frontage. The small slatted wood server y is in back corner with some metal stools to sit at the counter. There are a couple of tall round tables with the same stools as at the bar counter in the middle of the floor area. Some shelving in the window holds a stock of take away products and a couple of fridges against the back wall hold some can and bottle beer options.

On tap is a single lager from 360 Brewing. Previous visit here it was dispensing a pale ale from 40ft over in Dalston. Not fancying a pint of lager, I opted for a 440ml can of the Happy Easy Pale Ale from Cloudwater.

I really like this venue but can’t rate it any higher than the average 5 on here because of the lack of variety of the beer options and the single keg offering. Absolutely would return for a quick one when in the area (which is quite regularly).
