Located on the ground floor of the Napoleon Hotel, Sack Shoreditch is a quaint new sherry bar inspired by the traditional bodegas of southern Spain and Andalusia. Looking to preserve the experience of what they consider one of Europe's "best and enduring drinking institutions," Sack Shoreditch boasts an impressive sherry menu that is rounded out with a selection of wines, beers and tapas.
The name of the charming new East London spot is taken from the original English word for sherry, "sack." With many believing that sherry will become the next gin as the go-to spirit, Sack Shoreditch is sure to serve as a model for many more bodega-inspired venues to pop up in the future.
