Medicine Shoreditch

It's like watching your children fly the nest – we imagine. You've watched them grow up, done your best and you like to think raised them well so you can watch them make their own way in the world with pride. We watched nervously as our favourite local, Medicine Islington, took the leap to Shoreditch – with a large cash injection – and held nightly vigils in the hope that they wouldn't bodge it up. They didn't. The place looks cool, drinks are cheap, the DJ lines ups are great and despite a couple of weeks where the crowd took an odd and inexplicable 17 year-old Essex boy type turn – let's hope they got rid of those doormen – the place is packed out with people you'd be happy to invite round for dinner.
