| Last reviewed: May 2026 Alex Kratena and Monica Berg's Old Street double-act is the bar industry's bar — Elementary at the front for short, ingredient-led drinks at the counter, Tayēr behind for the chef-table cocktail performance with new ingredients prepped in-house every morning. Walk-in only, no reservations, and the queue at 19:00 on Saturday tells you what you need to know. The most-cited training ground for the next generation of London bartenders.
Editor's Tip
Walk-in only, no bookings. Closed Sun-Mon. Sit at the Tayēr counter Thu-Sat for the chef-table experience; Elementary front bar takes the overflow. World's 50 Best Bars No.5 (2025).
