Full of pretentious bohemian idiots who think it is cool to be somewhere that is falling down as it is somehow chic and retro. Don't go here, it's rubbish, you'll be disappointed.

Well, pretentious bohemian idiots are at least preferable to misanthropic ikea-philes. This is an old time space, as we used to have in the days when music was live and not piped. Recommended to music lovers if not soft furnishing types.

The loos are seriously disgusting. And I'm just talking about the ladies here. No loo seats, paper or soap. Plus they stink to high heaven.

I was there for a private party last Thursday (29 July) - I complained to the 'Manager' who flatly denied that the loos had no seats but then refused to go and have a look!

Here's a tip guys - if you are going to charge seriously swanky prices for booze(£4.60 per can) have the decency to have seriously swanky loos to match!

I've been to 93 feet east about 3 times in the last year, The first time was freezing cold and no one was there(Jan 2009) except a few friends of bands etc, lots of snow on the ground . I went again in the Summer to see 2 of my favorite bands Mean Poppa Lean and Floors & Walls, what a fantastic night, the venue was great and Free (90 free fridays I think) Great Sound, great Vibe, outside there was a barbecue and outside bar. I shall be back again on 21st Jan , so Happy New Year

I must say their Sunday morning raving crowd from the night before is a bit scary!

If you go early on a summer's evening it's quite pleasant to sit outside with a drink and the drinks themselves aren't badly priced.

However I went back this Christmas for a private party where the whole venue had been hired out, despite booking it from 8pm-2am the bars where closed at midnight and everyone rudely chucked out by 12.15, it was disappointing and very unprofessional.

The barstaff are so f*cking sour and stuck up - fashionable morons. Install vending machine so I can serve myself overpriced cans of Red Stripe, then I'll be back.

I was outraged by a very disappointing experience I had at 93 Feet East on Saturday night. My friend and I were in the Big Chill bar until late and decided we wanted to go somewhere where the music was a bit more lively, so went to 93 Feet East. We got there at 12:50am to be told that the bar closed at 1am, but that if we paid the £3 entrance fee, we could get into the afterparty at Gramaphone for free. So we paid our £3 for 10mins in the bar and then went to find Gramaphone, which we'd been told was on Old Street. When we eventually found the bar, which was on Commercial Street, not Old Street, we were told by the doormen that they had no agreement with 93 Feet East and we still had to pay the £5 entrance fee! We'd been duped into paying £3 to spend 10 minutes in 93 Feet East, as had many other angry people in the queue.

I for one, will not be going back to 93 Feet East, I prefer to go to places where the punters are treated with respect - we are, afterall, keeping their business going!

The Big Chill Bar and Gramaphone were great bars so I'd suggest you go there instead.

I really enjoyed this club, the atmosphere was fun and easy going so it was easy to have a good time with your friends.

The door staff were nice and welcoming, unusual for London I have to say, and the bar staff were fine.

Prices were reasonable but we missed out on the food in the BBQ so no comment but it looked good!

it was much quieter than i expected when i came, which was probably due to the fact that everyone was smoking outside, but it still had a unique vibe and was full of east london cool kids so i can't complain.

I had a pretty bad time as well unfortunately. It is seriously out of order to charge you a tenner then not actually let you into the main bar, which is what happened to us and a lot of other people. We hung around in the barbecue area for about an hour and then went home pissed off. What ever happened to controlling entry numbers?! Don't put up with this people!
I've been to the bar during the week and had a perfectly decent time though - just avoid big weekend events unless you get there about 5pm I reckon.

I totally disagree! You should have got there sooner, because I saw the boosh and they were fantastic - and I paid less to get in! The club was rammed but everyone had a great time who was anywhere near me. Of course I had to wait for drinks, but what do you expect on a Saturday night?



Bar staff didn't seem to have time to be rude or friendly to me, they were busy putting up drinks! And I personally like the style of 93 Feet East. I have been going there for ages, and it is perfect for the area - maybe not as posh as further West, but this is Shoreditch! Personally I think your comments show that you have what you described as an Over-inflated sense of self-worth and drab interior! This is a great place for a party!

I agree completely with the other reviews on here that comment on the venue's over-inflated sense of self-worth and drab interior. 93 Feet East really is the pits. The bar staff were incredibly stuck-up, but what for?! The place looks old and half-finished and has the poorest sound system I've heard in a long while. It was also completely over-priced and over-crowded. They'd let in so many people, that the main room was out of bounds for much of the night - not great if the DJs you'd come to see were playing in this room.



Because of the bad experience the club created, it didn't take long before 93 Feet East was full of disappointed revellers who looked justifiably miserable. 93 Feet East needs to be moved 93 miles east! I know that sounds cheesy, but the chill of the north sea would go perfectly with 93 Feet East's cold reception.

93 Feet East offers one of the best clubbing experiences in London in my opinion. With different music in every room there's music for your every mood. Rock on 93 Feet East!

93 Feet East has a pretty good vibe on a late sunny Sunday afternoon but unfortunately it's a little drab the rest of the time. Sometimes 93 Feet East features some exceptional DJs but on the whole it's hit and miss in my opinion with an overinflated sense of its own importance.

This is possibly the worst pub/bar/club I have ever been to. Never have I been treated so rudely by staff on some sort of crazy power trip. Save your money and your sanity and visit the fantastic bar in the Old Truman brewery across the street.
