Hannah ParvazOctober 17, 2016Good late night spot, but so sweaty. Awesome live music venue with a really high stage so you'll always see the band.
KatMarch 29, 2017hidden gem! its lively and fun without being overly crowded. Live music, surprisingly good burgers and a beautiful little hidden "garden". Definitely worth a visit!
Emma RodzikAugust 30, 2014Great music venue! Really liked the outside area with all it's fairy lights - smoking area is pretty small but this is so that people can eat outside which is really nice!Upvoted Apr 2
Vic McGinOctober 27, 2015I love this pub. Unassuming when you walk in, it has a huge gig room and good sized smoking area. Definitely come for a dance in a Saturday night.
Jag FirerwalkerNovember 13, 2019Great place for small band live music. Also really tasty burger - fried chicken or 21 day aged steak ... And obviously beer
O LSeptember 24, 2016Favourite pub for a night out in London. Open late, always good fun in the music room and an amazing not smoking/smoking area
Still a great local bar serving a mixture of beers with music playing each night. Come early in the week and enjoy a game of pool.- Jag FirerwalkerNovember 13, 2019Really good for live bands and the burgers - fried chicken or 21 day aged steak - are delicious, plus beeeer
- Nice pub with a good selection of ales and an alternative crowd. Don't miss the cheap gig nights with local alternative rock bands.
Arnau BronsomsDecember 7, 2015Classic place to have a drink. Out of the way but with nice gigs for a good price. Give it a try!- Gareth OgdenMarch 27, 2016Good juicy club night - really good fun for dancing. Long-haired barman is a bit of a twat though. Rude to several of our group and quite aggressive.
Brad TubbSeptember 28, 2014Little shabby in places and the bar service isn't the best, but good for a drink off the main Dalston strip. Worth checking out a gig here
Christian BSOctober 2, 2015Sit on the long bank opposite the entrance, and you can find a socket to charge your phone from.
Cyndie Da RochaAugust 27, 2018For the gigs mainly. Pop up anytime and you have pretty high chances to listen to some live music.
HenrikJanuary 17, 2016One of the better live music venues in the area. Try the East Coast Pale Ale.🍺- A great place. Don't waste anytime indoors. Begin your labyrinth to the wonderful beer garden.
Eugenio MontesanoJanuary 21, 2012This is THE indie place to be in London at the moment.. Sipping drinks shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Franz F's Alex Kapranos whilst enjoying the best r'n'r dj-set in a hipsters-packed room..!
George ArcherAugust 15, 2011Up-and-coming pub with a function room and a really cool and reasonably spacious smoking area - with a perspex roof!
Elysia MannMay 7, 2017Cool outdoor garden that's actually not cool if you want to breathe anything other than cigarette smoke
Jodie SanterJune 10, 2011Nice venue for gigs. The beach shack room is interesting and adds to the intimate setting for live music
Rob EllardJune 11, 2014Sitting at the bar, noticing a couple of things. Sam Brooks' has made it this far north, but Dalston hipstersdon't like drinking it from dimple mugs.
DAZED AND CONFUSEDNovember 5, 2009A pretty grimy Jamaican mans pub with a great dancefloor and beer garden hidden away at the back. A very fun and cheap place to have private parties.
- Clarisa SeguraDecember 7, 2011Good pub in Dalston. It has a venue for gigs and beer garden at the back
Giacomo MasonApril 10, 2017Quirky pub with a cool run down look. Decent beers but not great. Little garden at the back
