Last week I visited Victory Mansion in Stoke Newington. In all honesty it’s the first time I ever visited the area but its very up and coming. We went there for an evening of cocktail and food tasting. What I love about this place is that it’s co-owned by 6 friends who completely renovated and built up the place themselves from scratch, using their own recourses and skills to build it up to the cosy place it is! The place is really intimate with a cool, chilled out vibe.
Named after the protagonist’s home in Orwell’s 1984 (check out the CCTV spotlights on the bar’s exterior signage) and co-run by six mates (including two awarding-winning mixologists: Stuart Binks and Benji Purslow) who refurbed the venue by tapping into their own reserves of savings and elbow grease, Victory Mansion is a neighbourhood bar in Stoke Newington.
I love going out for dinner or cocktails. In a city as big as London we are utterly spoiled with the sheer number of places available for meals and drinks. Whatever your desire, whatever you budget, the city will have something for you. As I enjoy writing about food and cocktails, both as a consumer and as a creator, I'm lucky enough to get invited along to events where I get to try different places.
