The Umbrella Workshop is a tucked-away test kitchen for nearby bars Discount Suit Company, The Sun Tavern and Parasol. Finding it is all part of the fun: head down an alleyway that doesn't look like you should be heading down, and you'll be greeted with a teeny, tiny 12-seater bar situated in a 19th century atelier.
Atmosphere and Vibe
At once dramatic and extremely cosy, it would be perfect for an illicit liaison were you that kind of person. If not, use it as a place to try out a host of weird and wonderful cocktails that might end up on the menus of the other Umbrella Project bars.
Signature Drinks
On our last visit we tasted a baklava old fashioned and saw God. Cocktails cost around £13.50.
