A new American-style dive bar has opened on Roman Road serving up a unique collection of bourbons, authentic smokehouse barbecue and music with plenty of soul.

The Bourbon boasts a "serious" collection, with more than 40 bourbon varieties for sale ranging from entry level light and smooth American whiskies to rare finds like 23-year-old Pappy Van Winkle.

A spokesperson for the Hackney bar said: "Follow the smell of the smokehouse and the sounds of old school soul and blues into this atmospheric 40-cover cavern that’s full of unique character."
