Who would’ve thought that celebrating the first anniversary of a certain wee ex-pizzeria in Islington could get so messy? Still, when said establishment is also one of London’s finest cocktail-dispensaries, perhaps I should have known.

Tony Conigliaro’s bar with no name will no doubt go down in the bitters-soaked history books. With time it will surely collect all those little myths and anecdotes – the regulars, the drinks, the conversations, the lock-ins – that make an erstwhile great bar into the stuff of legend.

But for now: happy birthday 69 Colebrooke Row.

Here’s wishing you many more. And thanking you for all the pleasures and hangovers you have bestowed on us over the last year. Chin(n) chin(n)!
