Satan's Whiskers

Time Out4 days ago
Looking every bit a down-and-out dive bar from the outside, you shouldn't judge Satan's Whiskers by its cover. Inside, there's hip hop on the stereo, a smartly modish setting, vintage French posters on the walls and some of the best cocktails to be found in Bethnal Green. Their menu changes often, with adventurous spirit combinations always at Satan's heart. But luckily, it's more of a laid-back neighbourhood hangout than an out-of-place, high-end cocktail bar. Think not so much stuffy, more stuffed animals – there's plenty of taxidermy pals lounging around, but it never borders on the tacky.
Order this
The devil's work is never done and the team here have taken the idea quite literally - last year, their menu featured a carousel of more than 400 cocktails to whet your whistle. There are usually delectable house specials to be found, such as Satan's Garibaldi (campari, orange, lime, passionfruit and orange soda) or Satan's Manhattan (Knob Creek whiskey, vermouth and bitters).
Time Out tip
If you're in the mood for both people watching and a lesson in liquor, sit at the bar: a prime position to catch the attention of friendly staff, who'll gladly run you through their favourites on the menu.

Student nearly ends up on wrong flight because of one spelling mistake

Mario Andres Mantilla Ardila was searching for flights to the French City of Love when the mishap took place, meaning he bought a ticket to the wrong country altogether A student nearly ended up in Greece after buying a ticket for Paros instead of Paris. Mario Andres Mantilla Ardila was searching for flights to the French City of Love when the mishap took place. The 22-year-old aspiring architect typed 'Paros' instead of ' Paris ' and ended up with a ticket to the Greek island in the Aegean Sea, located west of Naxos. Luckily, the Colombian, who also works as a graphic designer, realised the mistake before boarding the plane. But not before posting a video on TikTok that quickly went viral with 9.2m views and thousands of comments. He jokingly captioned the clip: 'I had to go to Paris, but because I'm dyslexic, I bought a flight to Paros.' ‌ Have you ever ended up in the wrong place by mistake? Let us know about it by emailing webtravel@ ‌ ‌ Images showed his plane ticket from the Colombian capital Bogotá to Paros. The young man was due to board the plane in seat 28F. It also showed him holding his hand over his mouth in shock. The open-ended clip left many TikTok users wondering whether he accidentally ended up in Greece. But Mario told What's The Jam: 'I quickly realised and managed to change it to the correct ticket. I uploaded the video to TikTok as a funny anecdote, never imagining it would get so many views or go viral. The reason I had to travel to Paris was to participate in a volunteer program in Viviers, Ardèche, where I'm currently helping restore the Maison des Chevaliers, a historic 14th-century building. 'As an architecture student, this experience has been incredible, allowing me to learn traditional restoration techniques, gain a closer understanding of heritage preservation, and contribute to the protection of a unique place. Beyond the technical aspects, the programme also focuses on cultural exchange and community service, making it even more meaningful.' He added: 'Although I didn't end up travelling to Paros, seeing images and videos of the island, I would love to visit it sometime in the future as it seems like a wonderful destination.' One local said, 'Believe me, Paros is much better than Paris.' Valery added, 'Now I want to visit Paros, it looks beautiful.' Ale remarked: 'My brother once confused Switzerland for Sweden.' The prospect of flying to the wrong country by mistake is not a new one. A long running claim has circulated on the internet that Salzburg Airport in Austria has a help desk specifically for people who intended to fly to Australia. However, sadly, it's not true. The European airport recently confirmed it does not have a desk for misguided tourists trying to get Down Under. The misconception stems from an advertisement for a technology company that ran on a baggage carousel at the airport, which joked about offering such a service. Salzburg Airport wrote in a Facebook post written in German that no such counter or button exists and that the sign seen in some of the posts is actually an advertisement for Commend, an Austrian communication and security technology company.

A 14.5kg wedding dress and a venue beloved by Queen Elizabeth II: Inside Delta Goodrem's destination summer wedding to Matthew Copley in Malta

Delta Goodrem and long-time partner Matthew Copley tied the knot in a lavish destination wedding in Malta last month. Since then, the happy couple have been living the high life in wedded bliss, drip-feeding details of their summer nuptials to eager fans. Now, an inside look at the three-day event has revealed the singer, 40, began her wedding week at The Phoenicia Malta, sporting a 14.5kg custom designer gown. The location proved to be especially significant for the musician, as Matthew proposed to Delta on the grounds of the five-star heritage hotel in 2023. While the actual ceremony took place at St Paul's Cathedral in Mdina, Delta and Matthew's love journey began at Malta's Mediterranean jewel. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The Phoenicia Malta was a favourite of the late Queen Elizabeth II, with its art deco interiors, private gardens, seaside views and historic Grand Ballroom. Matthew certainly saw the magic in the location, as the guitarist popped the question to Delta in the hotel's seven-acre garden while accompanied by a string quartet. The pair relived the happy memory during their wedding week in June as they stayed at The Phoenicia Malta throughout the celebration. Delta even entrusted her 14.5kg couture Paolo Sebastian bridal gown to the hotel to safeguard ahead of her nuptials. She then spent the morning of her wedding getting ready at the hotel as wedding planner Sarah Young, Palazzo Parisio and WonderEvents helped organise the event. Delta also ended her wedding week at the award-winning destination with a sentimental, sunset photo of her family and friends in the landscaped gardens. 'The team at The Phoenicia Malta made it feel like home,' Delta later shared. 'We captured this photo outside the hotel, with all the beautiful team at the hotel waving us off.' 'Thank you to everyone for making our special week even more special,' she finished. Enya Stellini, the Events Manager at The Phoenicia Malta, said it was an 'honour' to host Delta and Matthew during the momentous occasion. 'It has been an honour to support Delta and Matthew from the very beginning,' she said. 'Their story reflects everything we strive to offer couples—beauty, intimacy and a sense of occasion rooted in Malta's vibrant history. 'Their celebration was a reminder of how personal destination weddings can be, and why Malta continues to attract couples from all over the world for their big day and beyond.' Delta shared a first look at her 'fairytale' wedding with Vogue Australia is July. The blushing bride stunned in an off-the-shoulder wedding gown with a racy sweetheart neckline designed by South Australian fashion designer Paul Vasileff, founder of Paolo Sebastian. The French tulle gown featured gorgeous lattice detailing and a two-and-a-half metre train. Delta said she worked with the designer over three months to create a gown that felt 'super personal and very special'. 'Paul and I connected the second I got engaged, and we started working together immediately,' Delta told Vogue of the couture creation. The gown, which took around 500 hours to make and weighed 14.5kg, included nods to the couple's romance, including their wedding date, a pair of swans and cherubs, embroidered into the fabric. Delta and Matthew exchanged vows in the historic St. Paul's Cathedral in Mdina, which was built in the 12th century. The reception then took place at Naxxar's Palazzo Parisio, an estate with exquisite gardens that was constructed in the 18th century. Guests at the ultra-private wedding reportedly received detailed schedules months in advance, with the celebration marking the culmination of a two-year planning process. The wedding was a lavish multi-day celebration attended by the couple's nearest and dearest. 'June 2025, Husband and Wife. It was more magical than we both could have dreamed,' Delta wrote in an emotional caption on Instagram at the time. 'We said I do under the Maltese skies in a family fairytale wedding brought to life by so many angels surrounding us. 'We are holding on to every memory from that moment, the love, the laughter, the happy tears and dancing till the sun came up.'

‘City of singles': cosmopolitan prewar Paris's ‘crazy years' brought to life

In 1926, James Joyce was working on his novel Finnegans Wake while living in a spacious apartment in the 7th arrondissement of Paris with his partner, Nora Barnacle, and their two adult children, Giorgio and Lucia. Joyce's neighbours in the elegant stone building at 2 Square de Robiac included a Syrian family whose three children had an English nanny called Jessie, Russian émigrés, an Egyptian industrialist, and the US writers William and Elizabeth Placida Mahl. The details are part of a new exhibition that paints a portrait of the French capital a century ago when it was a hub for artists, intellectuals and young unattached men and women during the decade that became known as les années folles (the crazy years or roaring 20s). Curators at the Musée Carnavalet have drawn on work by researchers from France's National Scientific Research Centre (CNRS) using artificial intelligence to create a database of the 8m individual handwritten entries from the censuses of 1926, 1931 and 1936. The result is an almost comprehensive list of those recorded as living in the 80 districts of Paris's 20 arrondissements at a time when the population of the city reached 2.9 million people. Only the details of those in prisons, hospitals or religious institutions have not been released. 'It's absolutely fascinating. For the first time we can name almost every person who was registered as living in Paris during this period,' said Valérie Guillaume, the director of the Musée Carnavalet. 'From the information, we see Paris was a city of single, young adults and that there were many different nationalities. There were very few children in the city at that time.' As France recovered from the first world war, Paris attracted a cosmopolitan and global crowd of writers, artists, and musicians who mingled with people fleeing revolution, genocide and persecution, workers from France's colonies as well as young people from the countryside seeking jobs. While Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall and Amedeo Modigliani were busy reshaping the art world, Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein and F Scott Fitzgerald were living it up in the French capital and George Orwell was down and out. Before 1926, population counts had been carried out in Paris, but the census that year was the first to give precise details of city inhabitants including date and place of birth, dependents and profession. Until now, the public has been able to consult the censuses in the Paris archives, but this has required a manual search. 'The artificial intelligence was trained to recognise letters and numbers in the handwritten entries in the census to create a database that can be searched and consulted. Entries that were ambiguous were checked by a human,' Guillaume said. 'It's never been done before because it's an enormous job; too big to manage without digital help.' Sign up to This is Europe The most pressing stories and debates for Europeans – from identity to economics to the environment after newsletter promotion The Musée Carnavalet, which is dedicated to the history of Paris, said the censuses threw up a 'mosaic of diverse life stories in a whirlwind of memories and emotions'. Aside from the famous, including the US actor and entertainer Josephine Baker, the singers Édith Piaf (born Gassion) and Charles Aznavour (born Shahnour Vaghinag Aznavourian), and the celebrated model Kiki de Montparnasse (Alice Prin), the exhibition focuses on ordinary Parisians. The data also reveals interesting comparisons between the 1920s, when the average lifespan of a Paris resident was 50-60 years, and now, when inhabitants live to aabout 80. As well as documents and photographs from the era, many of which have never been previously seen publicly, visitors to the exhibition will be able to consult the census database. 'People will be able to look for details of relatives who were living in Paris at the time or the names of people living in their building a century ago,' Guillaume said of the exhibition, which opens in October. The People of Paris 1926-1936 exhibition will also include newsreels and broadcasts from the era as well as recordings of Parisians recalling life in the city in the 1920s and 1930s made as part of a City Hall project in the 1990s. Joyce lived in Paris for 19 years, frequently moving address until the Nazi occupation of France in 1940, when the family moved to Zurich, where he died the following year. Finnegans Wake was finally published in 1939. As a matter of record, the 1926 census entry for the Joyce family is not entirely correct: the children are wrongly recorded as having been born in Ireland instead of Trieste, Italy, and Giorgio is recorded as Georges. 'This whole project is fascinating and a living thing. For the first time we can put a name to those registered as living in Paris during that decade,' Guillaume said. 'On one hand it is a very large mass of information and on the other it's personal because we are looking at individual people and their stories.'
