This Crouch End gem is a real find. They have what looks like a giant Breaking Bad type chemistry set in the bar where they make their own blood orange infused tequila. The small plates of food to accompany their fantastic cocktails are imaginative and delicious. They have a way with flavours more redolent of a fine dining establishment but within the confines of a small and buzzy neighbourhood cocktail bar. One worth travelling to even if it's not on your doorstep.

We enjoyed a wonderful family celebration meal for our son’s 18th birthday! The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented and the service was attentive but not intrusive. Received a complimentary dessert as it was our son’s birthday and we also got 20% off the bill as it was a Friday night deal! Would highly recommend Hot Rocks. We will definitely be return customers!
