Spiritland, King's Cross

Spiritland is a hip café and bar in the heart of London's music scene. Spiritland perfectly captures the zeitgeist: as part of a new generation of 'listening cafés' (a notion taken from Japan's jazz kissatens – tea-rooms with state-of-the-art audio equipment), it's upping the standard for London's most music fans.

Spiritland, a café by day and a bar by night, offers the pleasure and passion of music listening. This is the place to experience all genres and eras. From 1950s jazz to deep electronica, country rock to vintage pop, there's something for everyone. At the bar, expect an interesting experience with a range of excellent beers, wines, cocktails, and spirits. Wines from Slovenia, Hungary, and England are prominently featured on the wine list. For the cocktail, you can try Red Clay, which is a long drink made with spicy mezcal, cassis, ginger, and lime, or the sticky-sweet Man Child, which is made with vodka, Chianti, cherry, vanilla, and lemon.
