Unless you work in finance or directly with the stock market, this incredibly fun bar has become a staple night out in the Islington area. Located a stone’s throw away from Angel station, The 411 bar is where it’s at, and that truly is the 411 (if you’d pardon the pun). Every Wednesday, this hotspot transforms into a boozy version of the stock market, with drink prices rices and falling in real-time based on demand.
Picture it: you could grab a cocktail at a bargain price, then watch it skyrocket as more people catch on! It’s all about timing (and maybe a little luck, as always).
This interactive concept means you might end up trying a new tipple or grabbing a long-time favourite for a steal, all while screens around the bar display the fluctuating prices. It’s like playing the actual stock market but with far fewer risks – unless you’re invested in a Negroni because they really are to die for at The 411, and guaranteed to be popular. So, keep an eye out for those cheaper prices!
If that wasn’t wild enough, they’ve even got a resident ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ roaming around, money gun in hand, spraying fake cash while sharing some outrageous stories. What’s even better, one lucky guest could snag the Golden Ticket for free drinks all night. It’s Wall Street madness, but way more fun than checking on your real-life investments.
In true 411 fashion, this isn’t the only fun you can have at this must-visit bar. There’s way more to enjoy throughout the week with events like Bottomless Beer Pong Brunch on Saturdays and their Daquieri and Dough pizza special on Fridays.
