Dani and I met up with a colleague of mine, her boyfriend and some of their college friends recently at a hot new bar called Lounge Bohemia in Great Eastern Street, 10 minutes walk from Liverpool St Station. Hidden behind an unassuming and unmarked brown door between a newsagents and a shop, you (should) have to stick your hand into the mail slot and ring the buzzer inside to be let in, where you then head down a set of unsturdy scaffolding-like steps which transport you to a 1970s communist Czechoslovakian living room as you make your way down them.
Note: Having been there twice now, the door was actually always open, and there was no need to ring the buzzer at all.
Lounge Bohemia is owned by Paul, a native Czech who is so nonchalant about the place he keeps as quiet about it as possible, though Lounge Bohemia has already won 3 different industry awards since its opening in November last year. We had excellent cocktails and creative nibbles at affordable prices in a super chill atmosphere, as the venue really is the size of a living room, and holds no more than 40 at once on its few tables tucked in corners and orange couches out in the middle of room.
