The Four Sisters (Bar)

Away from the bustle of Angel, at 25 Canonbury Lane,
In 2012, a pub was restored, returned to its original name.
Four Sisters was in reference, to the building’s saucy past,
Its main function as a brothel was destined not to last.

A hub for wanton behaviour and a centre for devilish sin,
It’s now the best bar in London for those who wish to drink gin,
You can also drink vodka and rum, and sip on flavoured liqueur,
In fact, it’s the ideal pub for drinking whatever you prefer!

The Four Sisters classic Negroni, a cocktail sure to impress
It’s aged in oak sherry barrels, a process of utmost finesse
Which adds smokiness to the drink, unlike any I’ve tried,
And believe me; I’ve tasted Negronis, world- and nation-wide.

The finest cocktail I tried was Pisco Punch #7,
On that cold night, for me it was the closest thing to heaven,
Twas sunshine drenched, wrapped in banana leaf,
Its outright deliciousness truly beggars belief.

Thanks for such tasty cocktails must go to the head barman
An expert mixologist, who goes by the name of Andrei Marian.
Thanks also to Simon Bastable, for this bar is his vocation,
And without him there’d be no exciting cocktail innovation.

The real stars of the show are the cocktails themselves,
They’re concocted using the many bottles lining up the shelves.
The ingredients, as it should be, are what make the drinks sing,
Such as bacon-washed bourbon, and pomelo infused gin.

The Four Sisters bar blends gothic with a glamorous touch of style,
The perfect place to sit with friends, and natter for a while.
The inside of the bar is cosy, the décor exquisite,
For those looking to party, the weekend is when to visite.

Those looking to take time out in a cosy corner with a drink?
Perhaps you need space for reflection, so you can have a good think
You should arm yourself with a cocktail and a newspaper or three
And visit during the week when plenty of tables are free.

There’s wine and beer on offer, but it’s the cocktails that shine
The Four Sisters bar in Islington deserves a lot of your time.
