R.I.P. 
Dragon Bar is no more, although they will be opening at a new location on Shoreditch High St later this year according to a sign on the window a couple of weeks ago.

Review of The Dragon Bar

Rocks.
Packed with arty types with asymmetric haircuts, tattoos and skinny jeans, a no-suits policy, Banksy stuff on the walls, graffiti covered toilets with no ladies/gents markings just to confuse the newbies, loud, eclectic music, could be dancehall or heavy rock or electro, usually packed, no room to move let alone dance. You'll know from that right away if you'll hate it. I love it and have never had a bad night there.
The only bad thing I have to say about it is that I usually regret it the next day.

Review of Anam

A shame. 
A year or so ago I would've given 4 stars at least, maybe even 5. On a weeknight you could sit at the bar, chat with the staff and drink £8 cocktails that were so good and so boozy you actually felt you were ripping them off by not paying twice that. The cocktail menu was about 12 pages long, with all manner of obscure ingredients and interesting combinations. My favourite was the Chilli Chocolate - chillis, chocolate and about 5 types of booze. Mmm... Chilli Choclate...
Sorry, where was I? Oh yes, Anam as it is now. In the past year it's changed management, they've reduced the cocktail menu to a fairly standard one, and turned the music up just a bit too loud for the size of the place. It's not bad, the cocktails are still above average, they still do the Chilli Chocolate (mmm... Chilli Chocolate...), but it just makes me remember how good it was before.
