Drinks
Tayēr + Elementary occupies a single Old Street address split into two distinct personalities: Tayer, a laid-back front bar serving cocktails on tap and by the glass, and Elementary, a more considered space for slower-paced drinks. The split-concept format has made it one of London's most talked-about modern bars, regularly appearing on global best-bar lists. It draws a fashion-forward crowd looking for technically inventive drinks without the stuffiness of a hotel bar.

What people say
"Tayer + Elementary was one of the highlights of my time in London. The bar is divided into two separate concepts, each with its own cocktail menu and atmosphere, which makes the experience feel unique from the start. We originally intended to stop in for one drink, but ended up staying for almost four hours because every cocktail was so well executed. The drinks were creative, balanced, and consistently impressive. Watching the bartenders work was also part of the experience and really showcased the level of craftsmanship behind the bar. Overall, it absolutely lives up to its reputation as one of the world’s top cocktail bars and is a must visit if you enjoy cocktails."
