Happiness Forgets is a small cocktail bar in a basement on Hoxton Square in Shoreditch. Its motto is “great cocktails, no wallies”.
Booking
The bar takes bookings for groups of two to six people up to two weeks in advance. It also keeps some tables for walk-ins, so it is worth trying the door if you have not booked, especially early in the evening.
Opening hours
Happiness Forgets opens at 5pm and generally closes at 11pm. One 2026 review lists it as closed on Sundays, so check the website before planning a Sunday visit.
Nearby
Hoxton Square has several other bars and restaurants around its small park, including Gigi’s at number 11. For more ideas, see the guide to Shoreditch nightlife and Shoreditch listening bars.
