In case you hadn’t already known, Stoke Newington is one of East London’s coolest locations, a culture hotspot with amazing restaurants and bars. If you’re lucky enough to move here, you’ll have so many exciting eateries and drinking establishments to choose from - but where to start? If you’re wanting glamorous drinking dens or just a good place for a cheeky pint, then you’re in luck. DesignMyNight have put together a list of the best restaurants and bars in your new area.
The Jolly Butchers
Need a place to sit back, relax and forget life’s responsibilities for a couple of hours (with a pint in hand)? Get yourself to the award-winning Jolly Butchers. You’re going to love their huge selection of real ales, ciders, and stouts - you name it, they probably have it. They also veer away from the traditional pub grub and instead offer delicious Indian dishes. Having said that, you can still pop down here on a Sunday for a traditional roast if you’re a die hard roast spud fan.

Ruby’s Bar and Lounge
One of London’s best kept secrets - Ruby's Bar and Lounge - had a makeover post-lockdown and is now known as ‘Corrichio’s Cantina’. Don’t worry though, this place still has the infectious personality of Ruby’s but with an added Mexican twist. Get down there ASAP to taste test their huge cocktail menu, as well as their tasty tacos. You’ll also be pleased to know that Ruby's famous Friday and Saturday night parties are still happening, so don’t miss out on the hottest spot in Stokey if you’re looking to let your hair down.
Address: 72-76 Stoke Newington Road, N16 7XB

Fontaine’s
Stoke Newington’s Fontaine’s has all the glitz with a substantial side of glam. This magnificent art deco cocktail bar is an East London treasure, fit for the likes of Marilyn Monroe (and you, of course). They’re constantly putting on cabaret performances to wow guests, so prepare to be amazed when you drop by. Thursday is the new Friday at Fontaines, by the way. Head down to make the most of their cheeky £5 cocktails whilst bopping along to East London’s finest musicians.

Victory Mansion
London is the best city in the world, so why not learn about all the things that make it this way? Victory Mansion does just that, by paying homage to all the great literature, food and drinks that have risen to fame in the big smoke over the years. Picture this, Dickens-inspired interior that’s home to pan-Asian cuisine. Bit of a mind fluff, right? But you should have Great Expectations (see what we did there) of their unusual combination of literary inspired cocktails and tasty tacos.

Rubedo
Rubedo is about to become your guilt-free pleasure, all its produce (including the wine) is naturally sourced. You’re set to love their seasonal menu too, which features classic Italian dishes and family recipes. Get your wine glasses at the ready for a vast selection of reds, whites and roses that you won’t find in the supermarket. Put that bottle of Echo Falls back in the fridge, because these guys aren’t messing about.
