Have been here a few times over the years. I think it is good and not particularly pretentious, so previous reviews surprise me. It can be surprisingly hard to get into on a Saturday unless you are in a mixed group - in which case book a table in the restaurant and then walk through to next door after. I think the restaurant is a good place to take an informal date, the menu is basic but acceptable and the waiters / waitresses are slightly freakish looking which is always mildly entertaining. The bar is quite small but has a seperate room with a stage that becomes packed and is like a mini-club. Music is a typical eclectic shoreditch mix and so are the people. Definitely worth a look.

Terrible! Avoid at all costs! I went with a group of friends on Saturday night. The music was disappointing and the DJs far to pretentious and cool to play anything anyone would actually enjoy. The staff inside the venue were incredibily rude on a total power trip. This place might be good if they fired all their staff and got some competent people instead and if they started to play better music. Until then, my friends and I won't be making a return visit!

This bar would get a good review had it not been for its rude door staff!

Used to come here after work on Friday’s and it’s usually got a good crowd inside with a good selection of beers available but the bouncers are just utter knobs tbh and wont explain the problem I had with them but basically avoid having to speak to them at all costs!

Good bar around the back with a stage!

Very bad treatment. some people have their phones nicked by someone and the managers and the security guys did nothing. also, the bar tenders are really slow and the service is really poor. definitely not a place to go!

I can totally understand the bad treatment, as I recieved it tonight. I ordered chips and they had been given to another customer, when I tried to find out what happened to my order the staff were dissmissive and they told me to find this customer who had taken my chips to replace them. Then once I got my order I tried to sit down and eat them the bouncers arrived and told me to leave because they were packing up the chairs. This place deserves zero stars.

I had booked a table for my birthday and they gave me an area in the back of the place with some dirty tables and chairs - horrible!! Obviously that was a bad start for my party and decided to go to another place. They're not helpful, organized or friendly. The only thing I got was 2 free drinks which didn't make any difference. I understand booking the table was free, but at least they could have let me know that the table I wanted was already booked !!

Went to meet a group of about 12 friends who were already in the bar. Arrived at 12:20pm and told, by the doorman, that the bar closes its doors at 12:30pm.

Besides the fact that it wasn't even 12:30 yet, they said they weren't letting anyone in, except of course other groups of people showing up and mumbling sweet somethings to the door men.

Unnecessarily pretentious for a bar on Hoxton Square.
