A total shambles. Went to this place in January with another straight girl and some gay male friends. We queued for an hour and a half, then were made to wait at the front of the line with many impatient people pushing us from behind for another half hour. After enquiring, we were informed by the door man that the club was full - then the dj/promoter had twenty people turn up who were let straight through. I asked if it was worth us waiting any longer, to which the door woman replied 'they probably won't be letting any more girls in now'. Charming.

Dirty & sleazy. Terrible door woman. Avoid.

The best thing about this place is that it's not The Joiners (only joking, I know it’s forbidden to say anything against that old dump). I have been to East bloc quite a lot and it’s pretty good. Best things so far have been the mortimer/pugh christmas party ( a lot of the proper old crowd out ) and Meat on Saturday 29 Jan was a good laugh. The Friday night (disco fag bar) varies depending on the people – sometime excellent, sometimes a bit disappointing. I have to say that as time goes on the place is attracting more of the wannabe cool try hards – i.e. the people who have wrecked this part of town and forced us all out into dalston etc.

Just checked out their wesbite and they go on about being good value. This from a place that charges £4 for luke warm cans of beer. That aside this is a welcome addition and I hope that it isn’t totally swamped by the bridge and tunnel crowd for a while longer.
