This September, Tooting will welcome a new addition to its vibrant food and drink scene with the opening of Good Measure, a cocktail bar located beneath the much-loved Taiwanese restaurant, Daddy Bao. Set to open on 6th September 2024, Good Measure has transformed the hidden basement storeroom into a cozy, subterranean drinking den that offers a unique cocktail experience with a Taiwanese twist.
Inspired by Taipei’s burgeoning cocktail scene, Good Measure’s menu features an eclectic array of drinks infused with ingredients and flavours commonly found in Taiwan’s culinary landscape. Visitors can look forward to creative concoctions such as an Old Fashioned infused with peanut whiskey, or a Bellini enhanced with the umami notes of miso.
The exclusive cocktail menu, which will change regularly, includes highlights such as:
- Cream of Matcha – East London Gin, Moonlight sake, lemon, matcha, Greek yoghurt
- Peanut Old Fashioned – Peanut-infused Buffalo Trace, brown sugar syrup, chocolate bitters
- Apricot Affair – Plum sake, yuzu sake, Cocchi Americano, apricot brandy
- Plum Green – Plum sake, Toki whisky, green tea, lime, tonic
- Taipei Sour – Plum, lemon, guava, cinnamon syrup
In addition to the cocktails, Good Measure will offer a selection of mocktails and Taiwanese bar snacks to complement the drinks. The bar’s design embraces the unexpected, with seating for just 15 guests among the restaurant’s storage shelves, bottles of infusions, and stacks of ingredients. This intimate, candlelit space, set to the beat of old-school hip hop and lo-fi music, is perfect for a pre-dinner drink or a casual evening out.
Good Measure will be open on Fridays and Saturdays from 6pm to 10.30pm, welcoming walk-ins only. Located at 113 Mitcham Rd, London, SW17 9P, it’s poised to become a must-visit destination for those seeking a unique and flavourful cocktail experience in Tooting.
