The Cellar at 68: A Cocktail Bar in the Heart of Spitalfields
The Cellar at 68 is a cocktail bar on Commercial Street in Spitalfields, a few minutes' walk from Liverpool Street station. You may know it as the Wine Cellar. Same room, new name, and a clear point of view: this is where you come for a properly made cocktail and a good night out.
The timing is good, too. From 22 to 26 September, 68 Shades of Negroni takes over with five negronis for Negroni Week. If you have been meaning to find a new cocktail bar in Spitalfields, this is a very easy place to start.
A cocktail bar first, with a cellar's sense of occasion
The Cellar at 68 is built around the cocktail. It sits inside 68&SHANGHAI, a multi-floor cocktail and wine bar, so you get the full range of a Spitalfields cocktail bar with a room that feels like a discovery of its own. Wine is still part of the story. Cocktails lead it.
A few reasons guests keep coming back:
Happy Hour at £5. Tuesday to Saturday until 8 pm, and all day on Sundays at 68&SHANGHAI. A cheap first round is a good excuse for a second.
Learn to make your own. The 60-minute Cocktail Masterclass runs Thursday to Saturday for 2 to 8 guests at £29 per person.
Room for a crowd. The Cellar holds up to 50 guests, so it works for a birthday, a team night out or a proper catch-up with friends.
