About Lounge Bohemia

Tucked away beneath a nondescript door next to a kebab joint at 1e Great Eastern Street in Shoreditch, Lounge Bohemia is a clandestine speakeasy delivering a theatrical cocktail experience like no other. Its décor—a kitschy throwback to 1960s Eastern Europe—with retro armchairs, pendant lamps, and furnishings inspired by the owner’s Czech roots, creates a cozy, surreal ambience.

This bar pioneered London’s molecular mixology scene. Cocktails arrive bubbling, smoking, or packaged in quirky vessels—think Bearllinis (Bellini gummies), drinks served in lightbulbs, toothpaste tubes, or even a volcanic eruption of shochu, yuzu and jasmine smoke. Classic cocktails and Czech beers are also available and often cheaper than the theatrical creations.

By appointment only and strictly no suits—it’s table service in a small, intimate space where booking and manners matter. Expect an evening of clever, playful mixology in a secretive, stylish setting that rewards the adventurous.
