Vibe Bar

Sitting up there with some of the most controversially laid out bars in the city, the Vibe Bar sits innocently on Brick Lane looking like a concrete garden or playground from the road. Its a vibrancy of picnic tables drowning in a sea of trend-setters and young identity artists, which red carpet your entrance […]

The Rhythm Factory Club

The Rhythm factory looks like a small cafe from the front. On a saturday night smokers can be found floating outside the front and past the burly bouncers you pay the small fee for the club and move past a quite quiet bar to the door at the back where it is […]

Industry Bar

Sandwiched between Old Street and the City (literally opposite a skyscraper) Industry Bar captured the swank of Brick Lane yet appears just outside of the parameter of Shoreditch. Gliding past the friendly bouncers the music within is pretty hot, there are bars upstairs and down, the downstairs is soundproofed and often has private gigs […]

Favela Chic

Favela Chic is apparently a global bar-phenomenon, and i can totally see why. This venue in Old Street pairs the random-est decor you’ve ever encountered with trendy, arty crowds, flat caps and scarves worn indoors to produce a loud, expensive overcrowded venue that blows you away. We are talking about a South-American influenced music, […]

The Griffin

The griffin could be that wild night you are searching for, needless to say when a friend and I came across this venue by following a stranger (who was very strange) from the Bavarian beer-house, across the old street roundabout to this backstreet pub. Within the griffin is loud and trendy downstairs with flavours […]

Bar 2012

This small woody alternative venue could have been a cafe at one time. Upstairs at the back is a very small bar with bottled beers and cocktails. Low sofas and chiars fill the room with dark corners, drapes and curtains put up randomly with candle and low lighting sitting inside a room whcih the […]

The Archers Pub

 A tiny tiny community pub at the Aldgate end of Brick Lane, the Archers boats good prices on the available beverages and even serves up snakebite. Like most of Brick Lane the Archers takes on a few shifty characters among middle aged crowds, trendies and old men. At one point a gentleman who […]

Bar Kick

Where Shoreditch and Old Street exchange glances at one another, meeting at an intersection, here sits Bar Kick. Bar Kick is an inspired, themed bar specialising in those who are fans of table football (or foosball as the americans call it). Bar Kick is a two leveled bar with a throwback 1950’s student type appeal to it, […]

Vinum Bar

Segregated from the madness that makes up the Old Street nightlife, Vinum is a gastro-pub addition for suited and booted office workers and not the party-goers that shoreditch is famous for. The venue is small with a cramped kitchen, leather couches and becomes easily overcrowded early in the evening. Light dance music plays quietly in the background […]

Nelson’s Retreat

A wide yet shallow pub sits in the same place it is has occupied for a grerat many years on the pavement of old street, easily one of the closest pubs to the station with good access to a kebab shop afterwards. Within there is a good assortment of guests who ferry in and […]
