Actually a great place, as long as you dress the part. The burgers during the day are huge.

I've been here a few times now and have had the best nights, the music is always crowd-pleasing, fun and dancy, the people are friendly and jokes, a wide range of crazy dressers from new romantic/wave to electro/thrash looks. Read some of the comments on here where people had been turned away, I feel it's the kind of place you expect to have a dress code, but just relax dress-up abit and run with it. if you don't want to it's not your kind of place.

Bar Music Hall was dreadful. The door man is the most pretentious person I have ever come across. He told me that he decides who gets in on the basis of, Who's hot and who's not. I ask you. Totally unncessary, especially before 9pm in a practically empty bar. And it's just a bar for goodness sake, and an ordinary one at that. My birthday was only salvaged by going to the lovely bar below Shish around the corner.

Bar Music Hall is definitely one of the better places in Shoreditch due to the fact that it has less pretentious idiots there. Good music and a good crowd made Bar Music Hall a lot of fun.

Dress up is all I can say if you want to get in to Bar Music Hall on a Saturday night and have one of the best nights with some of the most friendly and outgoing people in London. If you don't dress up, you won't get in. Bar Music Hall is a Hoxton secret and they don't want chavs there. Plus, I I love the doorman!

Bar Music Hall was dreadful. I was told by the guy on the door that they let people in based on how hot they are. For goodness sake. There are plenty of other places in London to drink and have a good time without that sort of ridiculousness. Don't bother with Bar Music Hall.

I went to Bar Music Hall for the first time last Saturday to meet my boyfriend and friends. I tried to sort out a guest list, but with no luck. They said it was not possible as the list was closed, but if we turned up early it wouldn’t be a problem.


We arrived at half nine and I had to flirt my way past the he/she/it on door. When we got in I was surprised that Bar Music Hall wasn’t more packed. Even as the night went on it never got to a point where it felt like the greedy owners had packed people in.
Everyone was very friendly, and definitely real party people. Even though it was such a big place everyone I spoke to regulars and they were the must interesting bunch of people I have ever met.

We were surprised that the bar manager told us that we are not their type of guests as we have been living in Hoxton for five years. I have never been insulted like this. Anyway, we got in to Bar Music Hall finally and the place was half empty, the music was bad and the crowd was very mixes, so I have no idea how they could make a fuss about us.


I would not recommend Bar Music Hall to anyone who I know.
