Tucked in a former glue factory, East London Liquor Company is a chic distillery and bar perfect for gin and whisky fans, offering tasty drinks and a relaxed vibe.
"Underwear and rotisserie chicken are two yet-to-be-related things that never go out fashion. You’re probably wearing the former, while you can find the latter at the East London Liquor Company in Bethnal Green. Their juicy chickens are made by Royale, the lockdown chicken company - which reads weirder than it is - set up by Leroy. As well as moist birds and cracking potatoes, there’s plenty of covered and twinkly-lit space to sit outside here." - jake missing
"Pandemic pivots didn’t get much more pivot-y than Royale: the simple and satisfying rotisserie chicken brand launched by the folks behind Shoreditch’s Leroy. At the East London Liquor Company, Royale can be found roosted here on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays with a selection of wine on-tap courtesy of the ever-reliable Uncharted Wines. From award-winning English wines to Catalonian deep cuts, there’s plenty of royally good drinking to be had here." - Lucas Oakeley
"East London Liquor Company, Mile End Bow. Slightly off the beaten track, the distillery and bar of the East London Liquor Company occupies a corner of this former glue factory. Walk inside through the heavy wooden stable doors and the shining copper still greets you from behind the bar.The gins are great. They currently make three types, all brimming with subtle botanical flavours (thyme, lemon peel, sage and bay leaf amongst many others). They also make small batches of rum, whisky and vodka too, all of which can be bought at the bar or in their fantastic little bottle shop next door (see the separate posting for more info on the shop).The East London Liquor Company makes for a good night out with a group of friends (there is space and it doesn’t get annoyingly overcrowded), or an afternoon drink in the sunshine before heading down to the park. There's also an outside area that almost manages to disguise the fact it’s a car park, with a seating area walled with fragrant lavender."

"A whisky and gin distillery in Bow Wharf, this industrial-look bar has huge date night potential. For starters, it’s a distillery so you can do the maths on how good the cocktails are. Secondly, a lockdown rotisserie chicken specialist from the team behind Leroy, Royale, have moved in and are providing scotch bonnet sauces, crispy potatoes, as well as great little snacky items like olives, prosciutto, and chickpea fries. Basically, it’s the ideal place for a couple of martinis to turn into a full-blown meal complete with a side of PDA or for a moody, intimate birthday where you demand someone shoves a candle into your 10/10 rotisserie chicken. photo credit: Justin De Souza" - Heidi Lauth Beasley
