A Brick Lane stalwart inside the Old Truman Brewery estate, working two modes: a courtyard bar by day and a venue for club nights and live sets after dark. The draw is the space and the crowd rather than the drinks — order whatever's cold and let the setting carry it. Sunny weekend afternoons in the courtyard are the reliable pleasure; nights vary with the bill, so go for a specific event. As part of the sprawling Truman Brewery complex, it is woven into the fabric of East London going-out, an institution that has anchored the area for years.
