One of the world's best bars - and more importantly, a DesignMyNight award winner - has just announced a second venture. Soho's Swift is opening a sister site on Great Eastern Street in Shoreditch and along with their amazing cocktails, the group are expanding their talents to brunch, coffee, and all-day plates.
The work of Mia Johansson and Bobby Hiddleston, Swift hasn't taken long to make a name for itself internationally with well crafted, affordable cocktails set across two floors. For their East outlet, the duo have teamed up with Roisin Stimpson and Edmund Weil (the guys behind fêted Nightjar and Oriole), meaning there is some serious drinks talent behind this new space.
Open from 8am (10am on weekends) until midnight, the Shoreditch drinking den looks to have a simple interior scheme, with stool seating, a long counter bar for drinkers, and white wall panelling. And while London's bar scene has taken a battering recently, the new Swift looks set to have it on its feet again in no time...
