Taking inspiration from the surrounding streets of haberdasheries and tailors, Discount Suit Company is a small subterranean cocktail bar serving mouth-watering cocktails and plates of cheese to those who have managed to seek out the narrow set of stairs leading down to its bar. First opening to its crowd of east London locals and off-duty city workers in 2014 it's gone from strength to strength and the owners have expanded from Petticoat Lane towards Bethnal Green with the well-loved Sun Tavern. On November 24th the bar launched its current menu, filled with tasty syrups and seasonal flavours.
Best of all the menu offers recommendations of classic drinks based on each in-house creation, meaning if you liked the Old Bell you'll love a Sazerac, Boulevardier or Manhattan. Add in the weekly-changing Neal's Yard cheese selection and we could sit here all night.
