Food is reasonably priced and the atmosphere on a good night can be electric. The toilets need a lot of work it does not feel safe to use.

Regularly come here to support all acts including a friend who comes every other week. When entering the building she had paid her £10 for then the gentleman who was taking the money put change on the table my friend went to take it and he followed by saying “woah what are you doing are you crazy” completely confused by what was going on she responded saying “sorry for taking my change but you don’t need to say i’m crazy” he then proceeded to tell her that’s not how a transaction is done kind front of everyone who was in line two men behind us actually left the venue due too this, a women who was already in the venue even stated that this was blown out of proportion and wasn’t even something that needed to be a issue. We asked to speak to a manager come to find out that the man speaking with us was the manager/owner of the building which is really disappointing that this is how he speaks to not only people but also young females. He then proceeded to give us our money back and say he will speak to us outside, we spoke with him outside and he still remained to be disrespectful and undermined her feelings dispite him leaving her in tears and distraught she even apologised for “taking her change” but he was not empathetic about her being left in tears and hurt about him calling her crazy and making such a big scene in front of everyone. As a older man and you can clearly see that we was two young girls he was being completely uncompassionate & not empathetic to her feelings or how he made her feel and this is sad considering it is a venue that we frequently go to! Right down to the security & men outside on the door was more empathetic to her feelings which is very shocking

We went to Troy Bar because we missed the Ska, Rocksteady & Reggae river cruise that we were booked on due to the Circle Line not being operational to Blackfriars. We were not disappointed, there was a live jazz funk band that played continuously for over an hour that were amazing, the atmosphere was great and the drinks were reasonably priced for London. It's a down to earth kinda place but we like rough and ready non-pretentious venues so it suited us. Definitely go again when in London.

I have been going to Troys for years now as have worked in the area through various companies for a long time. Every company I have joined has always asked 'Have you heard about Troys' it's been a firm favourite for lunch and after work drinks at many companies I've worked for, they are also really accommodating for big company orders. The food is amazing, with great portion sizes (you'll never leave hungry) and so cheap for what you get. The staff are super nice and friendly and by night the music is always on point. I cannot fault this place! The team at Songkick love you Troys!!!

I'm a regular at Troy bar on Thursdays reggae, definitely the best live reggae bar in London and probably the only one. I've seen some amazing musicians there including Junior Marvin, former the weillers guitar player. Definitely one of a kind bar in London. The jerk chicken is a must if you ever visit this bar.

I came to Troy for open mic from Scotland. I was there from 9pm to 12.30 am. I was the 4th name on the list.While people spending all night with a bottle of water, I spent £35 in a night. Shentah, the host, was saying how a few people on the list encouraging others to put their names on the list. She even invited people to the stage who they did not put their names on the list but not me. When I asked her the reason she said other people put their names above me so she could not had a chance to call me. I took the list, and showed her how my name was still on the 8th and at least 15th people was on the stage but not me. Then she had no answer and said. "Yeah ok". It is all, yeah ok! Hell, not yeah ok! I am not black and I am not borned in the UK but this does not give her a right for discrimination. I thought Troy bar was very inclusive place and I was really enjoying being there. Obviously I was wrong! Another odd thing about this place, besides the rude management, is that they only accept cash for the entrance fee and food, but you can pay for drinks with a card. It's curious that they have the capability to accept all payments by card but choose not to. Additionally, they do not accept banknotes issued by Scottish banks, even though refusing them is against the law! Go somewhere else; there are plenty of better options nearby. I haven't tried the food, but I saw the kitchen, and the hygiene is poor!

I am not one to write negative reviews, but after being mistreated this evening I thought I’d share my experience to warn others. I’ve been a frequent visitor of Troy Bar for 5 years now, and have enjoyed every visit until this evening. While I was speaking to another person drinking there, floor staff had picked up my beer from the table I was sitting at and thrown it away by accident, while I was still sitting there. When turning back to grab my beer and noticing it was missing, I thought to approach a staff member and explain the situation in hope of them understanding. Instead they chose to ignore and disregard it despite the mistake their staff had made and the shift manager stated “life is unfair”. They chose to not listen and talk over me rather than listen to what I was explaining. Not nice or honest people, and very badly handled a simple mist-understanding. Bad vibes and not worth the night out, better places to watch live music in London than here.

Would not recommend at all. My partner and I arrived about 30 minutes after their opening time on Saturday, and everything was shut. Eventually an unfriendly bouncer came out and said they're not open yet and to go back in 20 minutes. We went back at 9pm and they were finally open, an hour late. The unfriendly bouncer told us to open our bags for any alcohol, we just had water, and he wasn't explaining why we weren't allowed to take it in. Luckily my boyfriend had been there before and knew of their "no liquids" policy, but it's the bouncer's job to explain that. Finally went in, enquired about food at the bar and they said they don't serve food on the weekend, which isn't stated anywhere on their website. It was 9pm, we hadn't had dinner yet as this was there we planned to eat with some live music, so we just left and went elsewhere. The bar staff were also somewhat uninviting too. Overall a pretty awful experience, and I definitely will not be going there again. I'm sure there are better places for live Jazz music in East London that are better organised and more inviting.

Band was awesome!!!! We went on a Tuesday and the musicans are simply amazing, they made my night I would give the band 5 stars if I could. Food was tasty, not a big menu but the food was nice. Lady serving the food was lovely and bar staff were good too. They don't take cash upon entry or for food but card at the bar, so walk with cash. Decor needs some work and didn't make sense where they had some tables and chairs as the security was constantly asking guests to move in for H&S. Toilets need attention as they were awful.

I'm a professional musician and came to London on vacation. I thought it would be nice to vibe and come to a jam session. I wish I'd read the reviews first. Door staff was atrocious and the policy of CASH ONLY for food is absurd. Ignorant bouncer rudely demanded 8pounds in cash just to enter. We specifically asked if we could use the card once inside and he flippantly said yes. Nobody carries cash around anymore. in short we couldn't order food cause it's in cash. They wouldn't even refund us our entry since we left immediately. This place is obviously a racket and doesn't deserve to have any clientele.

Me and a group of 10 musicians who attend music university decided Troy Bar would be a good place to spend the night with some nice food and music and drinks, but we were turned away at the door. The security were rude and didn’t want to tell us why we weren’t allowed in. They said it was because some of us were 19. They didn’t want to clarify the rules and were overall rude and dismissive to us. We went round the corner and had an incredible night at the Blues Kitchen instead.

I was in a group of 11 music students, aged from 19 to 25, and the bouncers picked on one of our younger members and told us they wouldn't serve him alcohol at the bar, despite him being 19 and having his ID with him. Then they started getting confrontational, telling us to just read the sign next to them (despite that sign saying you had to be 18 or over). It felt like it was an insecure bouncer who got a bit flighty, although I can't understand why. Maybe his wife didn't give him the good beat. Can't be going round taking it out on everyone. It's a shame, we were each going to spend at least 30 quid a head there, we were looking forward to a good evening. It's even more strange because we could see in and the place was empty. Maybe they think picking on teenagers makes them a more sophisticated bar...

The term "hidden gem" is grossly overused in online reviews, but this establishment fully deserves the title. I used to get lunch here at least once weekly; its portion-size-to-value-to-deliciousness ratio unbeatable by a country mile for the area. I finally visited for a Jam evening and was blown away by the talent of the musicians. A fantastic place to spend an evening. Pro-tip: order the combo.

This place has an excellent atmosphere. Some of the best music in London mixing R&B, Jazz & Soul hosting some of the best musicians in London. The place offers different concepts on different nights of the week which is great. They serve food also and their jamaican chicken plate is fire! This place looks exactly as it did when I first dropped in 10 years ago. I really believe that with such great music and with such great concepts the place would benefit so much from improving their interieor, their service skills and their overall vibe. The place has a lot of potential! In my opinion.

I can only comment on the food (take away) as I am yet to experience one of the live music sessions which I am told are great. But, this is an owner who understands, respects and values the surrounding community. Why do I say this? The quality, portions and flavour you get, is remarkable and yet the price demonstrates sincere interest and value in the neighbouring community. They have a lunch time take away dea, so if you have not sampled, I recommend do! You will not regret. I enjoyed chicken curry (a favourite), rice n peas, plantain, salad and coleslaw. I have also tried the grilled fish (a tast fillet).

Hands down, one of the best open mics in the city. Tuesday nights are mainly fantastic R&B, but the exceptional band are more than capable of picking up new songs on the spot and working across genres, turning your chords and tempo into a full accompaniment on the spot. You can jam to your tune whilst trying some new verses in front of a caring and supportive crowd. An amazing experience. Pure quality at each stage and on each instrument. Spots fill up quickly and standards are high, so sign up early if you are serious about performing! Good luck!

I have been coming here on a weekly basis for lunch for about 3 years now and have been numerous times for the Tuesday live music nights. Food is pretty decent and because it's cheap I would come back. There are many reviews about bad service, these can mostly be attributed to the owner who I have met a few times and unfortunately a review wouldn't make sense to write without discussing him. He's a complete ******* of a man who I have seen flip out at people on numerous occasions. Although he's never personally gone after me, one time I went he made a friend of mine cry after he shouted at her when she asked an allergy-related question. I could go on, but best not to as it would be impossible to continue without talking personally about his social problems.

I can't adequately describe how special this place is; it has an authenticity and atmosphere to it that other places in London can merely try (and fail, more often than not) to emulate. For anyone who loves Jazz/Funk/Soul music, this place is simply unmissable. I would personally highly recommend the Jazz jam, which occurs every Friday night. The vibes here are immaculate, the staff are all incredibly friendly, and the food is pretty much perfect. I make a pilgrimage here every time I'm in London for the curry goat alone! This is an absolutely essential night out for any Londoner, let alone just Shoreditch. A truly wonderful place that I couldn't be more grateful for! Unfortunately it does attract its fair share of posers, which is somewhat inevitable, but if you get there early and claim a good table, you'll be rewarded with an unforgettable experience. I implore anyone to ignore the petulant 1-star reviews and come check this place out for yourselves - you won't regret it.

I went there for a late night out on Friday with my wife. The security was friendly, the Bar staff were polite, the fruit juices reasonably priced, entry was free, and they had a live band from about 11.30pm to 2am. It wasn't overcrowded, the atmosphere was good, and it's a great location. The disco lighting could be improved to give it a better nightclub feel. The club could do with some redecoration and updated furniture. This place is a gem in what can be an expensive city for a late night out with music and dance. I would definitely go again because all the staff are very welcoming and prices are very reasonable. There were all ages of people from diverse backgrounds. This club is a genuine credit to London nightlife.

My exceptionally talented best friend who is a professional musician was over from France this week and I was trying to find her a cool venue to jam at, with other great musicians, whilst in London. After waiting a short time, one of the two older doormen told us to 'stand to one side', before demanding that we needed to pay £8 and 'IN CASH' before anyone else could enter. This was strange as when researching this venue it clearly stated that entry was FREE. When I questioned why those in front of us had been allowed to enter without charge, the second bouncer came up and stood over us saying, 'I can guarantee that you are not coming in! I am utterly shocked by the the attitude of the management/bouncers at this venue. Not quite sure how they are able to get away with treating people like this?? SHAME ON YOU Troy! You missed out!!

Appena si entra, dopo essere stati perquisiti da un buttafuori, si ha l'impressione di aver "sbagliato posto". La sala è piccola ed arredata con un'accozzaglia di oggetti spaiati fra loro. Inoltre, se non sei tu a chiedere, nessuno ti offrirà da bere o da mangiare. Poi, però, ti arriva il loro combo di pollo alla griglia piccante e pecora al curry e capisci che l'apparenza inganna. Il cibo è da 10 e lode! Per non parlare della birra caraibica, servita piacevolmente ghiacciata. Ma il punto forte del locale è la musica. Infatti, ogni sera si esibiscono gruppi jazz (quello che è capitato a noi era di notevole bravura!) in un'atmosfera che, New Orleans spostati proprio. Se vi capita di andare a Londra, dedicate qualche ora a questo posto magico dove non troverete altri turisti. Ne vale assolutamente la pena.

I advised him I don't have insta and he replied snarkily "well then there's nothing I can do to help you". I called again a few mins later to ask if it's only take-away or dine-in too. He asked me what time I was thinking to come in and I said that I was looking for general information seeing seeing as he's the expert. He replied in frustration, "well I'm not an expert, and as I said check our website".

I went to Troy Bar recently and enjoyed the night until I noticed my purse missing from my bag. I returned to the venue to speak to staff members about how I can get in contact the following day. Staff weren't much help so I proceeded to look for it myself. I called the venue a couple of days after and the male telephone operator was incredibly hostile and screamed down the phone for most of the conversation.He decided to enlighten me that he gets a lot of these calls all the time and doesn't doesn't believe it was taken inside the venue. He questioned how I knew it was taken inside the venue?! Since when did answering the telephone for enquiries become a burden for staff. He also tried to intimidate me by telling me what I will do as he decided how this will be resolved.. During this time, he raised his voice and asked me why I was shouting? No empathy, no care, no communication skills. To agree with one of the other comments - I cannot support businesses that do not know how to operate and treat customers as though they are worthless! I have decided to leave this incident in the hands of the Police since we could not come to a direct conclusion. As much as I enjoyed the DJs style, I cannot return to this venue for how I was spoken to by the security and the operator on 07919841773.

I don’t usually write reviews but this one required one. The door staff were atrocious, we came for a friends birthday and prior to this the staff on the phone were rude. But we ignored it (first mistake) and still wanted to enjoy our friends birthday, as we got to the door the staff told us we could not bring our £150 cake in. We said can we speak to the manager or bar staff, to see if we can put it behind the bar as we had nowhere else to put it. They stated no and was very rude about it, informing us that we were giving them ‘agg’ (whatever that means). The rudeness was very unnecessary and unwarranted, this establishment need to really be careful about who they employ as after this we decided that these type of people will never get our money. It is hard to support black businesses when they have no etiquette or know theirselves how to run a business. I am highly disappointed as even the time of opening was communicated incorrectly. They should really educate their staff if they wish to strive in this form of business. This is the worst establishment I have EVER been to and will never ever spend my money there.

Antes de que dijera una palabra o intenté entrar, el portero abrió la puerta ligeramente y me gritó: "¿Qué quieres?" Honestamente pensé que estaba bromeando porque no podía entender por qué estaba tan enojado y dije. , tímidamente "uh. mis amigos están dentro y se supone que debo encontrarme con ellos", a lo que él respondió: "¿qué quieres que haga al respecto? ¿crees que me importa?" y, literalmente, LIGÓ la puerta y la cerró. ! Había otras tres personas que ya habían estado adentro y estaban afuera conmigo, fumando, que luego también fueron encerradas afuera, dejando sus bebidas y amigos encerrados dentro y lejos de ellos. Ninguno de nosotros sabía qué hacer, excepto esperar a que alguien nos deje entrar o que nuestros amigos salgan y nos conozcan. Entonces, unos 15 minutos más tarde, todavía estábamos esperando afuera y el mismo portero volvió a asomar la cabeza y gritó a todos nosotros: "Te dije que no puedes entrar y que simplemente estás esperando al otro lado de la puerta? F * Ck off! F * ck off! F * ck off! "Me gustaría enfatizar el hecho de que ni siquiera le pedimos que entrara. No le habíamos dicho nada. No estábamos amenazando o intimidando. ¡Soy una mujer pequeña, suave, educada y de voz suave y estaba siendo tan educada como siempre! Seguimos su consejo y nos "quitamos el dedo" y nunca más volveremos a Troy Bar..

Music was great and it was packed out towards the end of the night. Door staff met us with great hostility and the bar staff seemed to lack training. Not a great beer selection but the food was good and great price. Would go again.

Llamé al número que figura en su sitio web para hacer una pregunta sobre la noche de micrófono de los cantantes. Quienquiera que descolgó el teléfono fue tan grosero que estaba en completo shock sobre qué decir. Descolgó el teléfono diciendo "qué quieres", "No trato con la información del micrófono abierto". Me interrumpió cada vez que respondía y terminó la llamada diciendo "mira en línea" y colgó. La razón por la que llamaba era porque había poca información en línea durante la noche. Tenía muchas ganas de visitar el bar Troy, pero puedo decir con firmeza que no volveré a visitar. Es una lástima que una persona pueda dar a un lugar tan malo un mal nombre.

¡He estado en el bar Troy 3/4 veces antes de poder recomendar a cualquiera, especialmente los martes, debido al micrófono abierto! Hacen el mejor pollo jerk en Londres y la porción es enorme solo para 7. Los artistas son increíblemente profesionales y el personal es muy amable y servicial.

Este bar tiene un servicio horrible. El equipo de seguridad es grosero, intimidante para las mujeres jóvenes. Se requiere entrenamiento muy necesario en servicio al cliente. En el lado positivo, buena comida, pero llegó en diferentes momentos dependiendo de lo que ordenó. No se quedó el tiempo suficiente para escuchar a la banda. El restaurante también debe operar un servicio de reservas para gestionar la capacidad.

The customer service is horrendous during business hours . The place is unhygenic and the Jerk Chicken wasn't even seasoned ? The place is an embarrassment to carribean cuisine. I didn't even see a carribean in the kitchen.

Por primera vez en muchos años que me estaba animado por un amigo para volver a micrófonos abiertos, tuve que luego de un tiempo, que afortunadamente dieron un asiento, no tenía vistas de actos en absoluto, cuando intenté mover nadie me dejaron sentarme. Yo estaba en tanto dolor moviendo intentando ver. Tuve que preguntar a la gente en numerosas ocasiones para moverse, así que la gente en los asientos detrás de podía ver. No tenía otra opción que irme, me preguntó si podía tener mi entrada trasera, así que pude regresar otro día y disfrutar de las actuaciones, pero me dieron dijo que pedir alguien tres veces con un rechazo recto, y nos dijeron que estaba allí por horas. Sí, yo estaba allí por un tiempo porque es cuánto tiempo toma para establecer la noche y tener gente en el escenario! Esa no es mi haciendo? Salió de allí en agonía, parece desorganizado y sin atención a las personas en mi situación. En la parte superior de que las bebidas caro y débil con arroz.

Primero de todo el abrir las puertas a las 8. 45:00 (hora correcta), pero el espectáculo no empieza hasta las 2 horas de las puertas abiertas. Entonces estaba completamente lleno!

We accompanied my sister to the Troy bar. She was performing as the Purple Prince that night along with the Action Men. We found the bar to be comfortable, friendly, quirky and quite pleasant. The music was 60s stuff, but nothing that we knew. It was all from the France and other European places. It sounded like the Beatles or the Monkeys, but all of the singing was in foreign languages. Great tunes! The guy who ran the place was really sweet and took good care of us. Once the dancing got started the place became really entertaining. There were people in period dress (60s) doing period dances and it was really fun to watch. Highly recommend this bar for anyone who wants to just dance and not worry about what anyone else is thinking about you. Cool place.

La música de jazz concierto era increíble, jam session - mejor aún. Me enamoré de el ambiente de este lugar y volveremos la próxima vez que esté en Londres. Es acogedor, natural, sin pretensiones y simplemente increíble. La ranura era innegable y me bailan algunos funky r'n'hasta el bar cerrado, también conocí a algunos chicos simpática. Tenía dudas acerca de ir allí sola, pero no me arrepiento durante un segundo. No tienen dinero en efectivo o tarjeta contactless, así que tuve que comprar 3 cervezas antes de poder pagar con mi tarjeta de crédito, pero no me arrepiento!

Me encontré con este lugar en una noche de miércoles con algunos compañeros de trabajo, y me sorprendió gratamente encontrar una sesión en acción. Parecía como si este era una especie de noche abierto mic y porque no estaba demasiado ocupado nos las arreglamos para conseguir una bebida y un asiento. Vimos algunos saxofonistas de jazz, guitarra y batería. La iluminación roja le dan un toque de vibraciones de metro. Ambiente relajado y simplemente aprecio bastante para nuevos músicos salir. Si quieres disfrutar de algo diferente sin duda este lugar cuando no quieres ir de fiesta!

Great live music in a lovely, cozy bar. Saturday night jazz-fusion band was very energetic and had everyone dancing. The dark and casual atmosphere made for a really easy-going vibe, great for listening to jazz without the usual pretentiousness and fussiness of other similar places. The food was also excellent and well priced.

Always try to visit here for a lunch time meal whenever we get down to London. Our son and his work mates go there. Lunch menu is a small variety of caribbean food - Jerk chicken / curried chicken / goat / steamed fish / pork with rice & peas and plantain and coleslaw - 2 years ago it was £5 - 3 years later £5.50. It is always busy and you would never just stumble upon it. It's like some weird cafe/living room - I love it.

I love the food at Troy! I have never been to any of the evening events, but I have seen and heard good things. I visit most during my lunch break when I'm feeling for some good Caribbean food. I strongly think the venue is in desperate need of a refurbish as it's not very welcoming to those that aren't familiar with the restaurant. Besides the negatives, I love their curry mutton and the service is very timely. Highly recommend for great tasty food.

Excellent food. This place is perfect to take out and bring back to your desk or sit in the park with.

Also has a banging live jazz band at the weekend, cheap drinks and all round great vibes!

Attended Tuesday evening open mike session. First appearances not impressed small venue with old somewhat tatty furniture. Tables and chairs crammed on top of each other with no room to move. Strange set up for ordering food and a little slow to come out but the wait was worth it. Good food (curry goat £7.00) well presented and very flavoursome certainly exceeded my expectations based on first appearances. Drinks average and avoid the on tap presseco it's bad! The talent on the night was absolutely fabulous and the host did a great job engaging the crowd and getting everyone going. Turned out to be a great cheap last minute night out.

Visited Troy bar with my work colleague who's been there loads of times and always raved about how good the food is.We had the curry chicken and rice which came with plantain and salad. A very generous portion of food at a great price and it was cooked and tasted perfect.The venue itself is nice and intimate, it has a quirkiness to it which is very endearing. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. I am definitely returning back here.

Troy is one of my favourite places in Shoreditch. I first stumbled across it purely by accident, but I'm so glad I did as I've been back many times since. Thursday night is a reggae night, which is always fun, but any night I've been there, there's been a good vibe. It makes a change from the crowded chain places like All Bar One or the seedy clubs like Mother Bar around the corner. It's cool without being pretentious, not overpriced and just in general a good night. It's not fancy, it feels a bit more like a cross between an eccentric granny's living room and a student party, but it sure is fun.

Was having a fun chat with the staff early on in the night when the car was empty and they were really looking after us. As soon as the owner walked in the atmosphere took a dive and the staff looked almost scared. The drinks are stupidly expensive here compared to other bars nearby and the place lost its shine for me. I always like to see good staff being looked after and hate the idea I'm being ripped off.
