I have never been to 1001 bar in the evening, but to be honest - every time I have been here in the afternoons, I have had a great time.

Chilled - good music and you can have a coffee or a beer. No fuss.
You can eat if you want to with a happy selection to choose from.

I come in with a laptop to escape my office sometimes, and it's always been a cool hang out where you can work if you need to.

Interesting people from all walks of life - and good for those who like people watching!

I can only imagine this place to be fun in the evenings.

1001 would have been a great place to chill out if it wasn't for the rude bouncers. They just make you wanna not go in. First point of contact and they just put you off! If you're lucky enough to get pass the ridiculous bouncers and manage to get in the place is quite cool and non-pretentious.

It would have been a great venue to chill out if it wasn't for the IMPOLITE or should i say RUDE bouncers. They just make you wanna not get in! First point of contact and they just put u off. Once you get in the place is quite cool and non-pretentious!

Visited there last Sunday, Had a great time, Good music friendly atmosphere and everyone was chilled out either chatting, dancing eating, drinking reading or on there laptops. this is definitely going to become a regular spot to chill out and unwind. Also to those that don't like the place there are plenty of other venues on brick lane so take your pick.

I had a moment's trepidation on entering when I thought that this was going to be an achingly trendy place for desperately trendy people. It turned out to be a very chilled out venue. I

went there in the afternoon for a Little Episodes event and it was perfect for this as it was large enough to be open and relaxed, yet intimate. People were reading, watching the bands, clicking on laptops, enjoying beers and coffees and juices. Comfy chairs and sofas. Tables. Unobtrusive decor. A library (Book Orphanage) for those who want to chill out and read.

I thought the drinks were a bit pricey, but it is London. I got over it.

The staff were helpful and friendly.

In the afternoon and early evening at least, this is a cool place to do your own thing and be your own person, with or without a book.

This has to be the coolest club in London Ive ever been to. Im in 2nd Yr at uni in London and ive done all terrible student nights at terrible west end clubs (cough on anon cough). Trying to explore new and better places I discovered Cafe 1001. The main room is spacious to rave to DnB, electro etc. and then the indoor cafe area is nice place to relax from the music which then opens up to massive outdoor seating where u can enjoy a chat and a smoke. The vibe at this club is incredible and it's full off social and interesting people. No entry cost is great and drinks aren't too dear. The bouncers are very chilled and don't follow you into toilets. I live in Hammersmith which is ages away from bricklane but this doesn't bother me, I catch the morning tube!

Absolutely atrocious. Despite the upbeat techno and Dnb the atmosphere was dead, was very disorganised and just altogether not worth 25 quid. Cloakroom attendants were lovely, noticed they had dropped someones scarf whilst taking it to the cloakroom. Told one of the clerk to pick up the scarf and it was very apparent it wasn't going back to it's owner. Manager was absolutely discourteous. Came into the main venue to find him dragging a guy by his wrist outside. Didn't know who he was at this point so told him to leave the guy alone and just sort it out verbally rather than physically. Manager then started pushing me and repeatedly shouting 'right now I want you the fuck out'. Incredibly unprofessional and 25 quid definitely not well spent. Wasn't worth a penny.

I rather loooove it!!! it's the best place i know in London. always amazing vibe and great interesting people, fantastic cheep food (fresh burgers from the grill outside and nice salads and yummy wedges), friendly staff and incredible music!!! i would not fault it for a thing!!!Where is the cloak room? There's no cloak room in this place so you must confuse it to another bar. the fact that it's free entry makes it soo much more appealing and easy on the pocket! why complain?
