The Umbrella Workshop, Cocktail bar in Hackney, London, United Kingdom.
The Umbrella Workshop is a cocktail bar in Hackney that serves carefully selected spirits, natural wines, and premium bottled cocktails from independent producers. The space operates as both a drinking venue and a retail shop for beverages.
The building dates back to 1895 when it served as craftsmen's studios on Boundary Street. Its original industrial features—exposed brick and high ceilings—have been preserved through restoration.
The venue is part of a collective founded in 2013 that brings people together through tastings and events. Visitors can discover how local and international bar concepts are shared and celebrated here.
The venue is quite small with only 12 indoor seats plus outdoor seating, so it feels intimate. It is best to check opening hours and access details before visiting to plan your trip.
The bar is hidden down an alleyway and serves as a testing ground for nearby sister establishments in the network. New cocktail concepts are developed and tried here before appearing elsewhere.
