- Vic McGinMay 2, 2015Gigs! Don't gather on the stairs like the rest of the fools, get up the left of the stage and get a great view and breathing room. Rough trade pub quiz on Mondays is a hoot.Upvote9DownvoteUpvoted Oct 29, 2024

- TastebudsAugust 20, 2013Venue promoter known for booking soon-to-be-big bands early on - and there's a weekly music quiz run by Rough Trade East every Monday too. Multi-pack of crisps for the best team name. Nik Naks please.Upvote1Downvote
- Rob DysonSeptember 2, 2014Fantastic, intimate & lively live music venue upstairs. Great sound. FYI if you're eating in the pub downstairs, avoid the taxidermy corner. It smells of damp dog & puts you off your food.Upvote1Downvote

- Mag WalczakApril 23, 2016Book a table if you like to seat down. Security guy is not the most polite person in the world. Personally I didn't enjoy the place because of crowd but pies are definitely worth trying !UpvoteDownvote
