Bar Dõna
Stoke Newington
With dark, sexy interiors and a 60s soft rock soundtrack, this
sensual, subterranean Shangri-la has been dazzling Stoke Newington
residents with its pink velour, frills, fringing and drapes since
first opening as a pop-up, pre-pandemic. Four years on, and the
hedonism hasn’t stopped, with Dõna running a regular calendar of
voluptuary cocktail parties and cabaret nights. Tassels and tit
tape aside, though, the boudoir-like ambience of this women-owned
mezcal bar is just as seductive on a quiet night, when the drinks
menu of fiery, agave-focused cocktails takes centre stage. Look for
pours made with Dangerous Don, the bar’s house-made mezcal. The
Margaret is one of the best margaritas we’ve had in London.
