Our Story
Born from a love of classic cocktails, vintage style, and the spirit of rebellion, The Duke is more than just a bar—it’s a journey back to an era where elegance met edge.
We wanted to create a place that felt like your best-kept secret, where the drinks are always flowing, the music never stops, and time slows down just enough to savour every moment.
Inspired by the 1950s but with a nod to Shoreditch’s creative pulse, The Duke is a melting pot of old-world charm and contemporary cool. It’s our little slice of escapism, and we can’t wait to share it with you.
Our Cocktails
We don’t just mix drinks; we craft stories in a glass. At The Duke, our cocktail menu is a tribute to the classics, reimagined for the modern palate.
Each drink is a careful balance of flavours, designed to surprise and delight with every sip. From our signature Duke’s Delight—a bold twist on a timeless favourite—to inventive seasonal specials that play with unexpected ingredients, every cocktail is a masterpiece waiting to be discovered.
Whether you’re a cocktail connoisseur or just dipping your toes into the world of mixology, our expert bartenders are here to guide you on a delicious adventure.
The Space
Step inside The Duke and you’ll find a space that’s equal parts swanky lounge and cosy hideaway. With its dim lighting, plush seating, and vintage décor, our bar is a tribute to the golden age of glamour, with just enough grit to keep things interesting.
We’ve got tucked-away corners for whispered conversations, a sleek bar for making new friends, and plenty of space to just kick back and soak in the scene.
Every detail, from the art on the walls to the playlist in the air, has been curated to create an atmosphere that’s effortlessly cool and undeniably inviting.
