Equal Parts returns to Cocktails in the City as part of the Bartender’s Edit on Friday night, 7 August, collaborating with Archive & Myth to showcase one of East London’s most distinctive cocktail identities. Recently voted No.1 Bar in London by Time Out in 2025, Equal Parts has become a benchmark for modern neighbourhood hospitality. As described by the Pinnacle Guide, it is “a neighbourhood cocktail bar in East London where vinyl music, aperitifs, agave and Amaro are the order of the day,” capturing the bar’s relaxed rhythm and flavour?driven personality.
Bartender’s Edit is a curated selection of the top 20 bars in London, voted for by bartenders themselves. It celebrates venues where the craft, the menu and the atmosphere are shaped directly by the people behind the bar. These stands offer a more intimate, philosophy?led experience, giving guests a chance to taste cocktails that reflect the bartender’s own style, influences and approach to hospitality.
Equal Parts embodies the concept perfectly. Their drinks are built on balance, clarity and a deep respect for technique, often exploring unexpected combinations with a minimalist touch. The collaboration with Archive & Myth adds a layer of storytelling and creative direction, connecting flavour, design and narrative in a way that feels modern, thoughtful and quietly distinctive.
The atmosphere at Equal Parts is defined by being a welcoming and humble neighbourhood bar with an excellent and consistent drinks program. It is a place where guests settle in easily, where vinyl sets the tone, and where the team’s calm confidence shapes every part of the experience. Warm lighting, clean lines and a focus on detail make the bar feel both familiar and refined, a space where the drinks do the talking without ever overshadowing the hospitality.
Their appearance at Bartender’s Edit highlights exactly why Equal Parts has become one of London’s most admired bars, bringing their award-winning craft and collaborative spirit to Cocktails in the City.
