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 and so acts while upstairs remains DJ orientated and bassey but not too loud to have a conversation. The selection at the bar is not overly impressive but cocktails are available even if the bar-persons are not massively skilled in producing them, but at least they try. There are a few nice things to look at inside, pretty girls, trendy types and the decor feels quite futuristic in (surprisingly) a very industrial fashion.

Overall we were happy to spend a few bob in here and even come back a week later to drink again. Its a nice stop point if you are heading over to brick lane from Old Street and doesn’t get too crowded - 7/10
