The Railway Tavern

The Railway Tavern is probably the best established of the Liverpool Street pubs. It almost always seems to be packed out, entering side-on to the bar, which is fairly wide past various tables with chairs and at the back, the venue is occupied by fruit machines and the toilets.  The bar staff are a little slow and scatty [...]

O’ Neills Bar

Probably not the best location for an O Neill’s bar of this size considering its a fairly small addition to this Irish family but there are tables outside sitting by the busy main road and the bar is at the far end as you enter. You had better be pretty good at hurdles [...]

HaHa Bar and Canteen

Haha’s consists of a large hall-like room with a wide bar, seemingly prompt service and a strong selection of drinks catered to for the young drinkers that populate this venue.

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 [...]
