Award-winning cocktail bar Swift opens in Shoreditch this month

Considering many recent closures in hospitality, it’s great to see new openings in London. Later this month the fantastic team behind Swift in Soho will be opening their second bar, this time on Shoreditch’s iconic Great Eastern Street.

The launch of this new all-day bar is set for late July 2020. Opening their doors at 93 Great Eastern Street from 8am on weekdays and 11am on weekends, expect the same legendary Swift service; with artisanal coffee and brunch-style dishes in addition to Swift’s award-winning cocktails. The Shoreditch team are expanding the usual food offering with all-day dining options such as; Wild Mushrooms, Parmesan and Egg Yolk on St John’s Sourdough, and Sauternes Soaked Peaches and Raspberries with Mascarpone on Waffles.

There will also be Neal’s Yard Toasties and to-go breakfast items, alongside its artisanal coffee which can also be ordered to take away. Its aperitif-style cocktails will also be available into the evening including their renowned Spritz menu, Sgroppino and Irish Coffee.

Swift Shoreditch will be adopting the same unmistakable stylings as it’s Soho sister, with a similar aesthetic to the ground floor of the original bar. Think elegant and art deco with gorgeous high chairs lining the bar, and the reassurance that they will be operating with social distancing guidelines in mind.

Address: Swift Shoreditch, 93 Great Eastern St, EC2A 3HZ
