#  9 Great New Bars To Visit This Month  


 Autumn always ushers in a raft of new bar openings. From where is serving up the tastiest craft beer to cocktails with flair, we’ve rounded up the ones that deserve your time and money.  
 

 



 

 



 

 

 

 

## Spelzini, Shoreditch

  
Jim Fisher, founder of all-day Italian café Spelzini, has launched Luigi’s Bar in Shoreditch. Inspired by Jim’s Italian heritage and Mediterranean dining culture, Luigi’s focuses on artisanal antipasti including craft salami and small-producer bresaola and burrata, alongside contemporary aperitivi and wines made with native Italian grapes. Fisher has co-designed the cocktail menu with mixologist Fin Spiteri of Quo Vadis and Rochelle Canteen. It features drinks such as ‘Cherry Shrub Negroni’, ‘Clementine Aperol Shrub’, and ‘Truffle and Olive Frozen Martini’. There’s also a dedicated vermouth menu. Right on Shoreditch High Street, Luigi’s takes its cues from the best of modern Italian design: visitors can grab a seat on low-slung leathers sofas, at elongated marble tables, or stand shoulder to shoulder at the bar.

Little Bat is the newly made-over little sister of revered cocktail bar Callooh Callay.

From 11pm on weekends, the dining area is cleared and bar guests are invited to party the night away with music, drinks and nibbles from the all-night bar snacks menu.

## Ballie Ballerson, Soho

  
Ball pit and cocktail bar Ballie Ballerson has opened a second venue in Soho. (Its original Shoreditch site is now closed for a refurb and not due to reopen until early November.) The new place has two large ball pits: one in glowing neon; the other with vibrant, bespoke wall murals inspired by Soho’s unique atmosphere. In addition to an extensive light-hearted cocktail menu featuring drinks such as ‘Soho Sundown’, there are pizza and bar snacks to get your energy levels up post-ball pit. The interior design is inspired by the 80s, the 90s and new music genre vaporwave to create a cool and nostalgic [adult’s playground](https://www.theresident.co.uk/london-culture-events/londons-top-kidult-activities-refuse-to-grow-up/).

## No 35 Mackenzie Walk, Canary Wharf

The Darwin &amp; Wallace collection of sustainable neighbourhood bars just got bigger with the opening of No 35 Mackenzie Walk in Canary Wharf. A stone’s throw from the tube station, and with a south-facing waterside terrace spanning the length of the bar, it serves Monday-morning coffee through to Friday-evening cocktails and into lazy weekend breakfasts and Sunday roasts. First and foremost, though, it’s a bar, offering seasonal cocktails, a large variety of gins, plus craft and draft beers, and house wines by the glass, carafe or bottle. A large feature bar is surrounded by feasting tables, bar-top seating and cosy sofas to lounge on, sticking with the home-from-home aesthetic with a hint of the local that has led Darwin &amp; Wallace to win three Restaurant &amp; Bar Design awards.

## Draughts, Dalston

Hackney’s board-games café has moved to Dalston. The relocation gives gamers a bigger and better opportunity to meet up and get their game on.
