Adnan JAugust 14, 2010I actually liked this venue, ping pong table, music ok, crowd the typical funny haircuts and thick rimmed eye glasses with cheq shirts.
- ChiaraFebruary 12, 2012Their cocktails have the weirdest name ever!!! (Shoreditch twat, mothers ruin i.e.)
Cool and laid back. Live band downstairs, they have a special dress down 'no jacket' policy
Tom CallardJanuary 16, 2010Great for a hungover Sunday. Get a strong coffee, fresh oj and the full English to accompany the Sunday papers.
Its ALL about BigInJapan last friday of the month! and their awesome Cocktail selection. Read more
Miles TinsleyFebruary 13, 2010Very nice. Have the french toast followed by smoked salmon and scrambled egg! Highly recommended.
Tiago PintoAugust 10, 2013Empire State of Mind, Harlem Shake and Rolling in the Deep in a row — worst musical selection ever.
Victoria VeeMay 17, 2013Came here for lunch with my company today. Tha place looks quirky and its probably fun at night, but unfortunately the food was less than average.. Not impressed basically.
Del NobleMarch 4, 2019Hipster enough to be cool, but not enough to be pretentious. Decent if limited menu
Very cool old skool r & b night once a month on a Saturday. Love this bar!
Maya KornFebruary 20, 2012While there seem to be lots of favourable reviews on this page. My experience was not good. The front of house was unfriendly, seating system disorganised and my poached egg: hard boiled. Bad brunch!
I'm the best at ping pong in this joint. So watch out for me!

"Really cool place: love the brick walls, a bit crowded downstairs but great music. Oh and if you're hungry/hungover their pizzas are delicious (especially the Quattro Formaggi)."

"Probably my favourite bar in London. Easy, laid-back, out-door seating and great gins. Get the Pink Pepper Gin & Tonic. So good."
Jake Dylan - 7.5
"Longstanding Shoreditch favourite that's quite smug at non-peak times and has some fun club style nights upstairs. Can be overbearing if you just want a drink after work."
Mike Barnard - 7.5
"Great atmosphere, awesome food-pizza, vego, fish and chips, bubble tea. Lovely in the sunshine, having beers, listening to live tunes. Toilets are keypad entry, ask a business for help."
