Lowcountry

Tucked beneath Counter 71 in Hoxton, Lowcountry whispers tales of the American South. This isn’t just a bar; it’s a journey. It’s a tribute to Savannah, Georgia, the birthplace of Lowcountry’s co-founder, Ryan Sheehan. Lowcountry aims to capture the essence of Southern bars. It’s about that easy, breezy atmosphere where conversations flow as freely as the drinks. It’s where you can loosen your belt after a meal at Counter 71 and just “let it hang out.” The connection between Counter 71 upstairs and Lowcountry downstairs runs deep. Both strive for excellence without pretense. While Counter 71 showcases modern British cuisine, Lowcountry offers Southern-inspired comfort food with a British twist. Chef Joe Laker, who also helms Counter 71, has reimagined Southern classics like pimento cheese and shrimp and grits, using British ingredients. Don’t expect imported grits here. Instead, you’ll find innovative dishes like fried “grits” made with UK yellow pea flour and preserved corn powder. And the fried chicken? It gets Sheehan’s seal of approval. At Lowcountry, the cocktail menu is a carefully curated list of classics, historical drinks, and signature creations. Each cocktail has earned its place. For a taste of history, try the Rum Swizzle or Sherry Cobbler, reimagined with a nod to the past. If you’re feeling adventurous, sample a signature cocktail like the Hot Tomato, the bacon-washed Fat Fashioned, or the daring goats’ cheese and red onion infusion. But be warned, the latter is not for the faint of heart! Lowcountry, a haven beneath the bustling streets of Hoxton, invites you to experience Southern charm with a British twist. It’s more than just a bar. It’s a taste of home, a celebration of flavor, and a place where every cocktail tells a story.
