Welcome to MakeShift – A Unique Cocktail Bar in Islington Green

MakeShift is a cocktail bar like no other, bringing a fresh and innovative drinking experience to the heart of Islington Green. Nestled within an intimate space that transforms from a daytime café into a chic, evening bar, MakeShift is a celebration of adaptability, creativity, and expertly crafted cocktails. Whether you’re looking for a cosy cocktail bar in Angel, a place to enjoy a bespoke drink experience, or a hidden gem near Camden Passage, MakeShift delivers an atmosphere that feels both familiar and unexpected.

Our approach to cocktails is all about customisation and quality. The MakeShift cocktail menu is designed to be interactive, allowing guests to tailor their drinks to their individual taste. From a personalised Martini with house-made aromatics to an expertly balanced Negroni variation, every cocktail is a reflection of our dedication to craftsmanship and innovation.

We embrace the spirit of London’s best cocktail bars, but with a twist—there’s no traditional bar counter. Instead, our cocktails are crafted in the window, giving you a front-row seat to the mixology process. With only 16 indoor seats and additional outdoor seating in warmer months, MakeShift offers an intimate and exclusive drinking experience in a trendy Islington setting.

Pair your cocktails with a selection of bar snacks and small plates, created to complement our drinks and enhance your evening. Whether you’re here for after-work drinks near Angel Station, a date night in Islington, or a relaxed night out with friends, MakeShift offers the perfect escape from the ordinary.
