picture of Albert and Pearl
The Medicine Bar chain is apparently no more, with the Great Eastern Street branch closing recently, now followed by this one. It's been replaced by Albert & Pearl, dreamt up by the same people in charge of the Old Queens Head on nearby Essex Road. Their PR company has done a sterling job, as reviews have sprung up in the freesheets already. Essentially aiming at the same young, stylish - and allegedly upmarket - N1 cocktail drinkers that the Medicine Bar hoped to attract, we'll go and have a Whisky Sour there soon.
