Brilliant Corners

Named after the iconic jazz album from Theolonious Monk, Brilliant Corners is a trendy restaurant bar in the heart of Dalston. Playing a whole range of jazz records from their impressive library, a host of regular and guest DJs will play throughout the week with what they've described as the best audiophile system in the capital. 

A rather low-key affair, they will also host a number of poetry nights, book launches and film screenings, so an evening here is definitely one of high culture. Serving Oriental infused cuisine, they will focus on "sustainable Japanese food and drinks" using only fresh and organic produce for their food, complimented by a fine wine list. Ideal for chilled drinks with friends, and a place to avoid the hubbub of Dalston's party spots, this place is well worth a visit.
