The 10 best bars of 2025, from Tabac to Dante
The Standard
"there are any number of drinks at All My Gods in Bethnal Green that give the basil marg a run for its money. The first is called the nuclear daiquiri, which blends Wray & Nephew overproof rum, green chartreuse and falernum, and will send any normal person to Switzerland for a week of bone broth and hill walking or, in my case, to the pool table."

London On The Inside
"I’d also definitely hit up All My Gods in Bethnal Green. Ice cold Martinis, motorbikes and bad behaviour. What else could I possibly get up to?! Always a great atmosphere and someone interesting to chat to."
"It sounds like an east London cliche, but you simply won’t care when you’re having this much fun"
The Broadsheet
"A rock’n’roll dive bar in a Bethnal Green railway arch. It sounds like an east London cliche, but you simply won’t care when you’re having this much fun. All My Gods has a real sense of humour (there’s a Buzzballz vending machine) and friendly staff who will help you find a cocktail to suit your taste. With cocktails at £10, frozen vodka Martinis at £8, and Ruinart Blanc de Blancs champagne at £13, you’ll struggle to find a reason to leave."
"It’s a welcome reprieve from London’s ever-rising prices"
The Standard
"Praise be for this this charming sanctity"
The Standard
"I love All My Gods... the loquacious service and happy irreverence. This understated dive bar with its mad flags and neon lighting under black banquettes. Also, cocktails are all a tenner. I mean come on, that’s stunning. And so: praise be, I covet this bar; this charming sanctity; this hallowed place to recite the marg father."
"a tribute to London’s late great dive bars"
Timeout
"If playing on a black velvet pool table while sipping champers to a soundtrack of Black Sabbath under a bespoke tapestry of a man mid-puke sounds a little discombobulating, then All My Gods is doing its job. A true dive bar takes many years to cultivate its unique brand of sketchy decadence, and All My Gods offers something a little different - a London rock bar with a sly sense of sophistication, wipe-clean padded pleather seating for god knows what and a very decent outside terrace."
