Favela Chic

Distance: 0 mls

East Village

Small club, big line-ups, they say - and we wholeheartedly agree. Since the place formerly known as Medicine Bar opened in February 2008, with a classy facelift and...

Three Blind Mice

Renamed after an album by Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, this basement bar was previously called Smersh. But if the owners are redecorating, it's clearly a work in...

Shoreditch: 5 Ravey Street, EC2A 4QW

Distance: 0 mls

Princess

Just like the Fox down the road, the Princess has a ground floor bar topped by a very decent restaurant. The differences are all about style. The look here is less pub...

Cantaloupe

One of the Shoreditch originals, Cantaloupe has long since eased into a comfy chair to let the young guns tire themselves out at the cutting edge. It simply carries on...

Distance: 0.1 mls

Reliance

This small, rather awkwardly shaped bar with worn floorboards, rough brickwork and the vague air of a Parisian bistro could do with being double the size, so...

Hoxton Pony

Just another so-so ShoHo bar?

Aquarium

Just as Old Street was earning a place on the world's map of cool, this club opened in 1995 to add a healthy dash of knowing cheesiness. Famous as the club with the...

Distance: 0.1 mls

Plastic People

Dark basement? Check. A swung cat would brush its ears on all four walls? Check. A sound system that has had songs written about it? Check - and how! Forward has long...

Distance: 0.1 mls

Fox

A real post-work magnet on Thursday and Friday nights, when you can hardly see the bar for bodies, the Fox is a delight the rest of the week. Plus points include an...

Distance: 0.1 mls

Mother Bar

As part of the legendary 333 Club, Mother is something of a Shoreditch institution. Tthough its sleazy, late-night allure has had the edge taken off it with the...

Charlie Wright's International Bar

It's just a few metres from Old Street, but this no nonsense bar feels miles away from the Shoreditch scene. Decent Thai food (you can eat well for a fiver) keeps...

Shoreditch: 45 Pitfield Street, N1 6DA

Distance: 0.2 mls

Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen

One of the Hoxton originals, Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen has seen plenty of action in its time. Still hip - check the gig nights and album launches - and packed to...

Shoreditch: 2-4 Hoxton Square, N1 6NU

Distance: 0.2 mls

Electricity Showrooms

Irony is almost overwhelming as Shoreditch's once feted minimalist original returns to its (almost) former name after a brief spell as a Nuevo Latino restaurant/bar,...

Distance: 0.2 mls

Red Lion

It's years now since this tiny bar on the 'wrong' side of Hoxton Square saw local resident Jarvis Cocker drop in every now and again to do a spot of DJing. But despite...

Distance: 0.2 mls

Red Lion Dining Room

The Red Lion pub's been on the block since crooked haircuts were but a twinkle in Hoxton's eye, but during the last decade or so it's carved out a niche as a cosy...

The East Room

Anda de Bridge

The bridge in question may be a particularly shabby piece of town planning, but Anda de Bridge makes a reasonable fist of bringing some Caribbean bonhomie to...
