Full description

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.

Reviews

Top notch cocktails with some of the most intriguing flavour profiles. Focus on flavour, not presentation. Industrial ambiance, yet cosy. Superb staff. Well worth the hype.
