93 Feet East

I had put off coming to this club too long and decided last week to branch out and head for it in time for the festive season and I am rather glad I did, its a wholly unique venue jammed behind the best parts of the city along brick lane. Entering through the old cobbled street outside (and with possible free entry courtesy of Buttoned Down Disco) the venue begins in a heated courtyard with steps up to a fairly large room which serves as the main bar with the floorspace essentially allocated for dancing (although totally overcrowded), a shop in the top corner and couches and recliners and even beds along the walls of most of the sides. At the back of this room the passageway leads into a larger hall with a stage and a mass of people listening to the most peculiar music with another huge bar running down one side. The drinks were fairly well priced at £3 a bottle and £11 a bottle of wine (nothing on tap) and cocktails start at £4.50. We wary however, you are looking at a large crowd of students, underage folk and plastic cups!! The First room leads back outside onto the courtyard where the outdoor BBQ is selling off kebabs and burgers- a great feature of any good club.

Overall I was quite impressed with the original layout of the place, the crowd was friendly and the drinks prices were above average- there needed to be less overcrowding but I would say it would be a venue i would enjoy returning to even if it was pretty difficult to find- 7/10.
