An all day bar and restaurant in the impressive Heron Tower skyscraper on Bishopsgate, the drift is brought to you by the team behind The Folly, The Anthologist, the parlour and the refinery. Spread over two levels, its quirky design touches provide a refreshing antidote to the somewhat uniform City bars. the drift brims with quirky collectibles, hidden alcoves, a mixology table and a fine dining nook, whilst offering delights such as afternoon tea cocktails, a crustacea bar and liquid desserts to die for. The modern European menu includes plenty of sharing boards, flatbreads and antipasto boards alongside familiar favourites such as gourmet sandwiches, burgers jam-packed with delicious fillings, hearty mains and seasonal salads. Drinks are taken seriously here with a range of well-crafted and innovative cocktails from well-loved classics to calorie counted ‘skinnies’ and ‘Veg and Herb Patch’ cocktails. An extensive wine list includes over40.
