Earl’s Juke Joint

Updated October 20, 2026,first published October 6, 2024

A spark plug in Enmore Road’s crowded cocktail scene.

Once upon a time, this site was a well-loved Russian butchery. Now, it’s a well-
loved cocktail and natural wine bar serving drinks such as the Pink Pony Club (complete with raspberry glitter) alongside pet-nats and dark beers. And yes, they’ll still make you a very good Manhattan if you ask nicely.

Best for: The warm candlelit room is an all-timer for date-nights and pre-dinner sharpeners.
