- Brunno ApolonioSeptember 6, 2013The pint is cheap and the sound of pub is always good. I recommend stay here when you come to East London. I think it is one of the best options to drink around here.
- Mike BarnardDecember 22, 2015Longstanding 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.Upvoted Feb 8
- PunktasticAugust 15, 2012Great pub downstairs, get venue upstairs. The OBL is the home of Punktastic's gigs at the moment, and we love it to bits!
- Giacomo MasonApril 10, 2017Great shoreditch pub with a nice atmosphere, good beer, and lively gigs on most nights
- heads up! minimum card spend is £10! there's a cashpoint that charges £1.80 30s north towards old st, but there is a coop about 2mins further up the road with free withdrawals.
- The beer will give you rabies and every time you see a band here you’re guaranteed to lose some of your hearing. That's why we you’ll see us DJing and putting on gigs in here. Awesome, awesome pub. Read more
- John WhenmohnAugust 21, 2011Stunning building. Real old historical boozer. Inside it's full of young trendy people. Look at the mirror art (for want of a better name) behind the bar.
- Zoe HellewellFebruary 21, 2011This Is Not Revolution Rock shows here are incredible and always a great night out. Check them out and check upcoming shows at

- Andrew SmallwoodAugust 16, 2011Looks dodgy from the outside but it's charming once you're in. Music venue is upstairs
- Katerina KerrSeptember 21, 2015It's ok here. Has a big reputation but it's like many other trendy shoreditch dives
- DAZED AND CONFUSEDNovember 4, 2009
- Mark AshworthNovember 22, 2015Just the same as any old pub. Don't know why people rave about this place.
- Bára DrbAugust 16, 2014Poor selection of beers, but a nice place for gigs. The bouncer is annoying tho.
- Dj's are inconsistent - wtf with electro mixed with shabba ranks? Just because they look the part doesn't make them any good.
- CraigJuly 16, 2010Not bad, used to be better. But aren't they always? Full of city boys and first year at martins wannabes these days.
