2. Dach & Sons Closed
So we learnt this week that Heath Street “hipster” slider bar Dach & Sons – and its upstairs speakeasy – has closed. I know, hipster and Hampstead are about as unlikely a combo as champagne and hot dogs (er…) But anyway, we enjoyed our single visit last year, while surprised that the owners of Old Street’s Whistling Shop and Purl were opening in an area not exactly renowned for embracing the zeitgeist.
“The last 9 months have been a huge learning experience for us,” they write on their website, “and whilst both Dach & Sons and Flat P were amazingly well received initially, we have failed to reach the volume of trade that we had hoped for.”
Shame. All we say is that if they had opened in Kentish Town, they would’ve cleaned up. Just look at how rammed the Brewery bar, Southampton, Abbey, Grafton/Lucky Chip and Chicken Shop are nightly.

Also – probably the most important local action that will happen in North London for the next few years, affecting every single one of us is happening this Saturday 16th. The march against the proposed cuts to the Whittington Hospital is starting at 11.30, meet at Highbury and Islington Station.
Join thousands of ordinary people to defend a vital, life-saving community asset. Sign the petition. http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/stop-the-sell-off-and-cuts-at-the-whittington-hospital/sign.html
Take to the streets on Saturday. Save the Whittington
