Coming 19th on the current list of the Top 50 Cocktail Bars, Crossroads Cocktail Bar, the brainchild of Bart Miedeksza, says that it believes in “creating simple, but delicious tipples served in a relaxed atmosphere that’s easy to enjoy”.
In addition to “Signature Cocktails” such as the Agave + Aloe and Corn + Truffle, classic cocktails were available from the bar “on request”.
However, in spite of the acclaim that Crossroads has received over the years, it is faced with an uncertain future.
In an announcement on Instagram, the team behind the bar said: “With heavy heart we have to announce that we needed to permanently shut the bar down on Wednesday as we’ve been asked to vacate the premises with immediate effect.”
It is not clear why Crossroads was asked to leave its site at 47 Newington Green. Prior to moving to what was once a Victorian era toielt in January 2023, the bar occupied a spot in Camden Town.
We would like to take a moment to thank all our wonderful guests who supported us during our time here,” it continued. “You all made it worth it and we loved having you over at the bar.”
However, the bar, which also has a consultancy arm, said that its “contribution to the hospitality industry is not yet complete” and that the announcement was “not a goodbye”.
The team will also continue to sell copies of its newly-released book Bubbles: a guide to carbonated cocktails.
