Whilst we waited 25 minutes at the bar to be served, the staff were openly doing shots behind the bar. Which is utterly disrespectful, I am all ok with staff having fun on shift but not at the disregard of the customer. I understand this is trendy east London but that is too far. Will not be coming back. When I am paying 6.80 for a pint I expect better service

Can’t say much about the food or drinks as I only had a beer but the atmosphere was great with a live DJ set and cool people coupled with a interesting decor which make this a bar you should definitely visit. Personal rating : 7/10

The guests at the party I attended brought the atmosphere. There was only one staff member behind the downstairs bars. They were lovely but overwhelmed, leading to very slow service. The host of the party brought the DJs, who were brilliant, and kept the dance floor full all night. Upstairs the bar staff -again friendly- seemed a little unsure of the cocktail recipies. The Less-is-more decoration worked well. Inspite of the slow service our party had a great night here.

Avoid this place at any chance. Awful waitress blaming me for ordering tap beer. It was warm, had no gas and taste was terrible. When telling her all the previous, she just said "it's your bad, nobody order that drink"

Great bar with a downstairs gig venue. Nice in the summer as there are big glass windows that open completely. Bring earplugs if you are going to a gig and have sensitive ears.

🇬🇧 We bumped into this place while we were looking for a place to have a drink. The atmosphere got us. The vibe of the place was unique. The music was great. The people were amazing as well. What I don't like is the long queues for getting a drink. It took ages to have one. Please, visit the basement because they have another DJ and the vibe is kinda different but really enticing. 🇪🇸 Nos topamos con este lugar mientras buscábamos un lugar para tomar una copa. El ambiente nos atrapó. El ambiente del lugar era único. La música estuvo genial. La gente también fue increíble. Lo que no me gusta son las largas colas para tomar algo. Tomó años tener uno. Por favor, visite el sótano porque tienen otro DJ y el ambiente es un poco diferente pero muy atractivo.

We used to come here frequently when we lived locally. Decided to see how it’s getting on since we moved away. We were not disappointed. It is as packed as always with an eclectic crowd. There was live music downstairs and upstairs was rammed. Though the bar was busy the staff really knew what they were doing and we were served quickly. I love how the art work changes frequently and is always interesting and innovative. Well worth a visit.

Its been a while since I was last here and I'm happy to report nothing has changed. Still the place to hang out to meet interesting and friendly people and has survived the many cycles of Shoreditch for this reason. Don't expect anything flash or even a great drinks selection but look forward to a vibrant atmosphere and a great casual night out.

Nice venue and bar. I reserved a table for 8:30pm on a Saturday as I know Saturdays can get busy and wanted to be sure myself and my group had somewhere to sit. I reserved for 3 people so not a huge amount. When we arrived there were no seats at our table, so we told a male bar staff member. He was extremely dismissive and just shrugged and said we’d have to find our own seats. Is this not the point in booking? We wouldn’t have minded but the table was too low down and right in the middle of the floor for us to stand around instead. It was obvious a large group on the table next to us had taken the seats meant for our table. Eventually, we managed to get seats by going round the venue and asking for unused seats but it was irritating to not have anywhere to sit. However, once we were sat down we had a enjoyable night, the cocktails were really nice and reasonably priced! The two women working behind the bar were really lovely.

I do love this place, it's always one of my first choice in London, however last time I went (on a Thursday) two fights happened in the same night (one in the basement and one upstairs), making me feel unsafe and shaken ruining my moment with friends and drinks. I am sure it's not their fault but I can't give you more than 3 stars due to that.

Hard to say... Average? Our experience in the basement was terrible, but it could be good upstairs. You needed an internet connection to order a drink, but there's no cellular down there and the WiFi is shaky at best. Plus, the website is janky and the menu seems to change hourly. It took six of us a half hour to order a round of beer on our phones when the bar was dead. If the bar or waiters now allow you to order in person again, or do so soon, that'll probably be irrelevant!

Visited to see some live music. At street level there is a wonderful bar that had draught and bottled beer plus many cocktails which seemed very popular with others present. The staff were delightful and the service was fast and efficient, prices were typical for the area. There is an event space downstairs which though not large was very nice plus it had a bar as well. The sound was superb though the stage lighting was perhaps a bit underwhelming with only two luminaires but that seems a common issue with venues in London. Overall a really nice place and one could easily spend the evening there even if not visiting for the music.

Some staff was relatively ok but when I asked one waiter for another round of g&t, his response was ‘I I’ll bring it over but don’t talk to me like I’m your slave’. For me it was shocking and so offensive of him when I talked to him with nothing but respect and politeness. His rationale was ‘I’ve said what I had to say’ which makes no sense at all. Not coming back and seems like there’s definitely nothing to come back for.

Awesome place to have the second or third drink of the night! The staff has always been friendly and quick and I like the lighting and the colorful walls. Energetic spot that is usually packed with interestig people and quite loud. The basement hosts the dancefloor. I liked the music (electronic). The air conditioning could use an update as oxygen is scarce on the dancefloor but maybe it's part of the eclectic and quirky charme of this place.

So bit of a weird one, but I feel compelled to write something. Me and my partner visited this establishment twice in a very short space of time with two completely different contrasts of experience. The first time we visited on the off chance (but not the first) we went in there literally for one for the road. We arrived and it was moderately busy. There were three female bartenders serving. I remember I ordered a twisted Daiquiri from the cocktail menu, but My gf wanted something off menu as she didn't fancy anything on the menu. Now the three bartenders conversed with us and confered between to come up with a perfectly well balanced and presented mixed drink for my lady and the whole exchange was very impressive. I am quite an accomplished bartender myself, and usually shy away from backseat driving or being overbearing when meet other bars, but we were both reply impressed withers attitude and application. So on evidence of this visit we returned a couple of weeks later hoping for a similar experience.... Alas our hopes were dashed!! This time three male bartenders, I asked for a classic Daiquiri, which if you go to any decent bar, or further more and more Importantly any Bartender worth there salt would lap up the chance and shake and bake a drink to your satisfaction, it is literally a basic requirement. We were stunned when they rebuffed my request and said it was "off menu" when we both peered over there shoulders nd saw all the ingredients readily available. At that point we should have left, but I thought ok well well have some from the menu. So I asked the bartender to serve one of there drinks straight up instead of in a tall glass.. what followed was a disgrace to the profession. He tried to build the drink in a highball glass warm, with no ICE without shaking it.. Then I had to step in and coach him through it lol. Even after that he and his colleagues still had the Gaul to give us attitude. Honestly I was embarrassed for them a they forgot the golden rule."You never know who you are serving"
