GERMAN CRAFT BEER COMBINES WITH DALSTON-COOL LIVING
German Kraft Brewery, urban gin distillery Jim and Tonic, and modern kebab house Le Bar have come together to form KRAFT Dalston. Recently opened this May in Kingsland Locke, the latest outpost from trendy aparthotel brand Locke, the exciting new restaurant and bar houses a sustainably managed microbrewery and gin distillery, and sees much loved, London-based Le Bab group expanding East for the first time.
Sharing in the spirit of quality-driven and sustainably sourced produce, the collaboration is a joyous affair that sees London’s love for good drinks and food coming together in one destination and showcasing a sophisticated yet down to earth menu of punchy gins and German-style fresh beers.
Set across two floors, the interiors of KRAFT Dalston have been conceived by local studio Red Deer, taking design inspiration from the vibrant colours and scenes of the surrounding Dalston area. The hotel is also home to 124 signature studio apartments, complimentary co-working space, workout studio and coffee shop.
The ground floor bar is home to six impactful stainless-steel tanks, an instantly eye-catching feature that draws attention to the on-site brewery and gin distillery on the lower ground floor below, visible from the restaurant through glass walls, setting the tone for the space which has an industrial, urban feel to it.
Beer is served straight out of the on-sight tanks avoiding packaging, transport, filtration or pasteurisation. By serving the beer in this way, the brewery cuts 75% of the packaged beers CO2 emissions. The beers are brewed on site according to the German purity law of 1516, only using water, malt, hops & yeast, bringing traditions and pure, fresh tasting beer to the 21st century. The malts are sourced from a 400-year-old Franconian brewery and malthouse, Steinbach Bräu. The menu will change seasonally, featuring speciality German beer styles according to the time of year such as the classic Heidi, full bodied Lager (5.2%), German Pils, Smoked Beer, Festbier, Dunkel, Bock and Märzen but also a core range of Hoppenweisse (5.3%), dry-hopped wheat beer and a Pale Ale (4.6%) made with German hops for a hazy, and fruity taste. There is also a unique selection of guest cans and bottles available to drink in and takeaway.
Gin and Tonic fans will be excited to try Jim and Tonic's range of sustainable urban gins. Made from small-batch gin distilled on site on the lower ground floor, guests can sample from an innovative menu with sips including, the Ruby - Roobee Rhubard Gin, served with elderflower tonic, raspberry and basil; and the Hendrix - London Dry Gin with cucumber tonic, fresh cucumber and rose buds. Jim and Tonics award-winning gins also feature on the bar’s molecular cocktail menu, which features signatures such as the Black Forest Negroni, made using Jim and Tonics Robee Rhubarb gin.
Trendy and achingly appropriate for the new area, the restaurant, Le Bar, is also housed on the lower ground floor. The large naturally lit atrium provides the perfect source of light for all the lush greenery, while the green tiling, pastel mint and pink painted steel tables and chairs create a relaxed atmosphere. There is even a nod to the tube with some of the seating areas mimicking the material of the train seats on the benches.
The food menu features new slider-sized kebabs from Le Bab, cooked on a wood-fired robata and served with their home-made sourdough flatbreads. Highlights include the classic 15 hour Pork Shawarma Kebab – organic free range pork served with sweet pickled cucumber, fresh Chermoula mayo and a foraged herb

mix; and the Aubergine Sabich - spice-roasted aubergine w/ house chilli sauce, peanut pesto, vegan mayo & foragers mix served on a crusty house-made pitta.
The menu also features limited edition kebab specials, like their smash hit collaboration, the Big Zuu and Le Bab fan favourites such as the Meat Butter Naan; their signature Hummus; and Turkish-Korean Fried Chicken with a date, chilli & soy glaze and garlic mayo. There is also a well-curated wine list for those fancying a glass with dinner.
Turning from a relaxed hang out to a vibrant destination bar, the lower ground floor also boasts a DJ booth looking out over the dining room for when the venue is able to host a series of DJ nights every Friday and Saturday night.

EXCLUSIVE NO.11 MARTINI COCKTAIL KIT
![](https://assets.isu.pub/document-structure/210605143557-13f5b7ef2fd75ae49ef862a79ee21ca7/v1/ecbc0f6dd7bd7b8afa71e49a2ecef1e6.jpeg?width=720&quality=85%2C50)
Grey Goose® Vodka has launched an exclusive run of limitededition No.11 martini cocktail kits in partnership with Ago Perrone and Giorgio Bargiani - the master mixologists of the World’s Best Bar, London’s Connaught Bar.
Mirroring the unparalleled quality of Grey Goose® Vodka, Ago and Giorgio pride themselves on innovation and individuality, using only the best ingredients to create unique yet timeless classics for the world.
The exclusive No.11 martini cocktail kit celebrates mixology as a unique and personal art form by championing Ago and Giorgio’s cocktail - the No.11 - which was inspired by the creativity of the visual arts, specifically Jackson Pollock’s series of numbered action paintings.
What's more, the exciting initiative also directly supports the arts and culture sector which inspired the drink, with all proceeds from the sales of the kits directly donated to Saatchi Gallery. The much appreciated funds will support the Gallery’s charitable goals through its Learning Programme, which aims to make contemporary art accessible for all, ahead of formally reopening to the public on 19th May after months of closure.
Encapsulating all the customisable ingredients of the iconic serve and made with the often referred to world’s best tasting vodka, Grey Goose® , and the hand-crafted Connaught Bar’s Gin, the No.11 embodies the past, present and future of the famed Connaught martini cocktail and was ideated on the occasion of its 11th anniversary. Martini® Ambrato, Amalfi lemon oil and five bitters, including ginseng, bergamot and lavender also play a pivotal role in the creation of the No.11 cocktail, which is traditionally served in a coupe. Each glass is carefully handpainted with edible pigments in a drip design inspired by Jackson Pollock’s painting.
Now, for the first time, the stunning permanently hand-painted glassware is being made available outside of The Connaught Bar as part of the No.11 martini cocktail kit. A pair of coupes feature alongside a pre-batched bottle of the No.11 cocktail - expertly prepared by Ago and Giorgio themselves - and a Grey Goose® bar spoon and stirrer.
A must for cocktail connoisseurs and art enthusiasts alike, the No.11 martini cocktail kit brings a taste of the celebrated No.11 tableside ritual to the home, proving the perfect collector’s item and a worthy addition to a home bar or drinks trolley.
The cocktail kits are available to purchase for a limited time exclusively via Saatchi Gallery for £100. Two very special ‘cocktail connoisseur’ editions priced at £1,000 per kit come with a handson one-on-one mixology masterclass to learn the bespoke art of the martini cocktail with Ago and Giorgio at the renowned Connaught Bar. The mixology masterclass offers groups the chance to enjoy delicious cocktails and indulge in canapes, while discovering tips and tricks from the best in the business.

Pale Fox Prosecco
Named in honour of its birthplace in northern Italy, the Valle delle Volpi or Valley of the Foxes in the Italian province of Veneto, Pale Fox is a delicate sparkling wine made from single estate, pale Glera grapes grown at the foothills of the Alps. Produced in the south of the superiore DOCG region of Asolo-Montello, the Valle delle Volpi’s unique growing conditions result in an exceptionally delicate, complex and drinkable sparkling wine.
Launched in spring last year, English wine enthusiasts, Mark Hill and Harry Cooke were on a mission to create the highest quality prosecco on the market, a wine with both length and softness similar to that of champagne, whilst removing the acidity and richness. Boasting the floral notes and lightness of a premium prosecco with the minerality, structure and flavour of a fine champagne, its quality was recently recognised by pre-eminent wine critic, James Suckling, who awarded the most recent vintage 93 points, making it the highest rated Prosecco in the world, and placing it above most N.V. Champagnes. Pale Fox contains significantly less residual sugar than many of its counterparts. Whilst most Proseccos will be classed as Extra Dry, and contain up to 17 grams of sugar per litre, Pale Fox is classed as a Brut, much like Champagne, and contains just 8 grams, ensuring a drier and more nuanced wine on the palette.
While prosecco often gets given a bad name for hangovers the following day, Pale Fox keeps the use of sulphites to as low as possible, minimising the effects of over indulging the night before. The brand is also proud to be vegan friendly, using bentonite clay rather than commonly used animal products in the fining agents.
Glera grapes, grown on the south-facing slopes of the Valle delle Volpi create exceptional sparkling wines. Located in an area with its own microclimate of sunshine, cooling breezes and gentle rainfall, combined with rich mineral soil provide the optimum location for Glera grapes to grow. Each grape is painstakingly picked to ensure only the finest are used within Pale Fox’s process. These are then crushed and pressed within 24 hours of being picked before the initial fermentation process begins. Pale Fox’s secondary fermentation is painstakingly longer than that of an average prosecco and is extended by over 100 days, a process which results in an infinitely more complex flavour and finer bubbles ensuring Pale Fox truly stands out from the crowd.
With sustainability being a core brand message for Pale Fox, the team use only 100% renewable energy sources to produce Pale Fox, and are on a mission to make their company carbon negative by partnering with climate positive charity Ecologi and planting a tree for each purchase made on their website.
The perfect gift for a special occasion or drink to enjoy on an afternoon in the British summertime, the packaging is stunning ensuring for a very happy recipient.

PIZZA ON THE SQUARE
Located in the heart of Chelsea in the iconic Sloane Square, the teams behind The Botanist Sloane Square and Casamigos Tequila and Mezcal have come together to create “Pizza on the Square”.
Boasting an 85-person alfresco dining terrace, the new concept offers guests artisan woodfired pizzas alongside an array of exclusively created tequila cocktails from the Casamigos bar, served both straightup and frozen until the end of September.
Tempting treats on offer from the new crafted menu offering authentic, wood-fired pizzas includes Garlic and Mushroom White Pizza, parmesan cream, Buffalo mozzarella, garlic mushrooms, walnuts and truffle oil; Pepperoni pizza with buffalo mozzarella and caramelised onions; Gamberetti with Atlantic prawns, garlic, buffalo mozzarella, tomato and olive oil; and the vegetarian Caponata pizza, aubergine, peppers, capers, black olives and buffalo mozzarella.
Others after something a little lighter can opt for a Butternut Squash or Classic Caesar salad. Wash it all down with a range of refreshing tequila cocktails, draft beers and Champagne.
Bringing the inside out, the iconic Casamigos solid Oak bar is brought centre stage for the mixologists to work their magic, while the traditional rattan furnishings surrounded by palms and foliage complete the idyllic setting. Created by long-time friends George Clooney, Rande Gerber and Mike Meldman, Casamigos Tequila is an award-winning small batch ultra-premium tequila and mezcal. Using all types in the portfolio the mixologists of the Botanist have created a summer inspired menu with all cocktails priced at £12.50 including: Tommy’s Casa Caliente, Casamigos Añejo, lime juice, strawberry, basil and green chilli, Cantartio Amigos: Casamigos reposado, pink grapefruit, agave, lime juice and grapefruit soda and The Mexicano, Casmigos Mezcal, strawberry Campari, Belsazar Rosé and blood orange.
