Slynky CatJune 17, 2017Try the Orange Blossom Spritz - Crowded Hive Orange Blossom Honey Mead with lemonade. Gorgeous, perfect for a hot summer's day. Great place, great vibe, lovely staff & cute pug. Highly recommended.
Amanda FoleyDecember 5, 2013Can't believe I've been hanging around Shoreditch for YEARS and I haven't stumbled in here until now! Funky decor + candles + fireplaces make for a lovely atmosphere. Lots of seating upstairs too.
Carlie SirokoMarch 25, 2016Great atmosphere and decor, pool table, good beer selection, lots of space and big windows upstairs let lots of light in and the owner had a super cute friendly dog that wanders around :D
Emily-janeMarch 14, 2018Cool pub! Quirky decor, fun vibe! Gets really busy at the weekends, extra bars, rooms and seating upstairs (available for private hire too) Cocktails and a good beer selection!
Alejandro LopezSeptember 4, 2014Great for afterwork drinks. Small terrace for summer, be quick! Good alternative upstairs by the windows
ZuzFebruary 2, 2019Doesn’t look like much from outside but it’s actually a really good place for a pint (or a cocktail)!
This is an amazing pub. The decoration is incredible. Don't forget to check the upstairs!
Amy BApril 29, 2017Upstairs can be a bit quieter. Look at the post to the right of the downstairs bar for a pictorial surprise.
- Alastair HiltonDecember 16, 2015The inside looks nothing like you'd expect from the outside. Wonderfully eclectic style and friendly staff
David BakerApril 21, 2013Amazing atmosphere, nice cider and very trendy clientele. Also, nice wallpaper in the toilets
Ellie SMarch 3, 2015Quirky bar on two floors and multiple rooms. Good east London crowd without it being hipstery
Justine ArrecheDecember 3, 2014Really interesting and eclectic interior with out of place smooth jazz background music.
It's open again! The downstairs has much more light now, more in keeping with the look of the upstairs bar than before.
Giorgi MerebashviliSeptember 29, 2016The vibe and atmosphere of this place is supeerb i think this pab is cultural heritage of east londonn
LondonistMarch 6, 2011If the dim light downstairs is offputting, head to the first floor for the same wacky decor with added sunlight.
Simon BeckermanJanuary 5, 2013Lovely pub. Nice decor. Go upstairs for a glass of wine or a cocktail.
puzzle piece wall, pin up girl wallpaper, dogs, sparkles and a a baby head. beautiful pub.
EdnaAugust 19, 2015Quirky decorations and vibe, though £8 for an Aperol Spritz seems a bit excessive
Ian Zachary-WhittinghamJanuary 16, 2015If you never been barred from a bar, This is the place to visit, -)
HarpaOctober 15, 2011Just got a free beer for lighting all the candles downstairs! Great to see staff with a sence of humor
- Popular Shoreditch pub, busy early on Fridays, but clears out somewhat around 7...
Too busy / and male / and too close to the CIty to make this list, but may be a go-er if you have a brave partner who is not perturbed by all of the above. Dim lights hides bad face, so there's that
Ben NuclearNovember 23, 2014Quirky, edgy. Hipster barstaff. If you're into ales go elsewhere. I've had a couple of badly kept beers there, don't know why, but the staff know.
Looks like Versailles, tastes even better. Extraordinary place.
Avoid on a Weekend if you want to hear yourself think, fab for an after work drink though with pretty music and decor.
Loud music, hipster barstaff. What ever you do, watch your bags; this place is well known for thievery!

"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."

"The best steak restaurant in London located between the City & Shoreditch resulting with a mix of city boys & trendy media types. Food is first class and its my No1 choice for client lunch meetings."
