"Generally speaking, pubs don’t always nail cocktails. Jäger bombs are excluded from this narrative, sorry. But Clerkenwell’s Coin Laundry is one of those laid-back modern pubs where you won’t care if it’s a bar, pub, or international space station once you’ve had a few sips of the raspberry and pepper vermouth-packed CL negroni. The main pub space is perfect for a spot of day drinking or gathering up every member of your WhatsApp group. If you’re after something a little more intimate, head downstairs to the basement area.
