Nastya LvovskayaFebruary 28, 2016Amazing place with great music and people :) Relatively cheap drinks and super spacious garden outside. One of the best places in Shoreditch for me to chill with a glass of wine 👌🏻
ChaseJune 15, 2016Fun place to sip a beer outside. Great selection of local beers on tap. Very spacious area indoors for the rainy days as well
Franz VitulliAugust 25, 2015Nice place, cosy atmosphere, friendly baristas, good coffee, great burgers, reliable wifi, excellent place where to setup your "coffice" when you need to get stuff done with your laptop. I'll be back!
Probably my favourite bar in London. Easy, laid-back, out-door seating and great gins. Get the Pink Pepper Gin & Tonic. So good.Upvoted Sep 3
Chris HainesJune 20, 2015A really nice bar and pub with a great outdoors area that's lovely in the summer. Plenty of seats, friendly service and nice atmosphere, this is a great pub to go to after work.
Shaileshwori SharmaJuly 31, 2015Lovely atmosphere both indoors and out. Great selection of liquor and beer. Bar service can be slow but they always serve with a smile so it makes up for it. Burgers second to none.
Chris VodolaSeptember 3The Spice Girls held their first professional songwriting session here, culminating in the recordings of “Wannabe” and “2 Become 1”in the Strongroom Studios.
DensJune 9, 2011From what I gathered, this is the unofficial "tech startup bar" of Silicon Roundabout. If you're from NYC, it's best compared to Tom & Jerry's but with an awesome / huge / beautiful outdoor gardenUpvoted Sep 3
Live music, huge beer garden, free house... the place has everything to enjoy with friends or workmates. May be busy on fridays.
Simon WillisonDecember 6, 2013Excellent place for a casual bar lunch. I had a great Thai red duck curry, fish and chips is excellent too.
They often have DJs on during the week. Grab a sofa and settle in for a night of funky music and good wine.
Quite simply the best pub, garden, everythinig in Shoreditch. I'm quite biased after having spent the best part of 3 years having work breakfasts here but I don't care. Well deserved and fab staff. Read more
Spacious pub, inside and out. Awesome garden when the weathers good! Great selection on draft and bottled.- Lee HartJuly 16, 2018lovely pub which its size is very deceptive. great selection of craft ales and a lovely beer garden to boot.
S WalrondJuly 23, 2018Great music, nice and fun crowd, great space outside and bar staff who actually smile once in a while 😳
Jonny WrightNovember 11, 2014Lots of nice heated tables outside, great bar inside, what's not to like?
Andrew TalagaOctober 12, 2017Great selection of Whisky, Gins and good ale. Nice area outside with plenty of space.
Been coming here for years. Decent food, good beers, excellent beer garden. Then I got racially profiled and harassed by security...
Scott GDecember 21, 2014Good bar/pub, decent selection of drinks and quite spacious. They probably have some kind of live events, as it does have a kinda small stage.
Elena E.April 17, 2015Hidden away off Curtain Road, this place is an old favourite. Huge garden, 2 bars, cool people.
Kostas MourtzoukosAugust 16, 2013One of the few pubs with paulaner weiss on tab. Garden is fantastic, weather permitting of course
Awesome bar. Bit of a queue but not that busy. Nice selection of beer and open space- Decent selection of beer and great courtyard. Oh, and the scotch eggs are amazing!
John MellorMarch 21, 2015Well-maintained Garlando foosball table, scenic garden, huge range of whiskeys!
András NémethJanuary 31, 2014Black Tongue double black IPA by Signature Brews is on tap, an absolute must.
Kieron WoodhouseJune 21, 2016Nice place! Fairly busy on a Friday night. Has a nice, big outdoor area.
Robert ShawJanuary 25, 2013Good music downstairs last night: Pixies, Pavement, Stooges, Breeders. The wheat beer (Rothaus?) is delicious.
THE RECOMMENDER BLOGOctober 3, 2012Did you know that the very lovely record label, Bella Union, shares the same building (across the arch)?
Email them ahead of time to book a space for a relaxed evening on the sofas.
A stronghold from the Essex high street that Curtain Road's become at the weekend. Good beers too. And good music.
MattMay 27, 2011Make sure you check out one of the last remaining Space Invaders in Shoreditch. On the left of the arch as you enter the courtyard.
