please try to avoid this place I you don't want to have a bad experience, the staff are the worst ever especially in the entrance and they will allow their mates in your while you are queueing, and if you have the "privilege" to be let in, you will find a pack place with no room to stand, follow a honest advice and go somewhere else sure is nicer!

What a shocking experience! This bar should be avoided at all costs. We had to leave after one drink – despite the fact that the music was actually really good. The bar staff are SO RUDE!! In all my years of running bars and clubs in London, NEVER have I experienced such attitude and rudeness from bar staff. I have never had bar staff talk back to me when ordering drinks. They then proceeded to make us feel very uncomfortable to the point we had to leave. Our whole group were of the same opinion – DON’T EVEN BOTHER GOING TO THE DRAGON. There are so many other places to go in Shoreditch / Old Street for a night out……

Won't be going here again. Had my phone stolen out my bag...which I was wearing and the manager (who looked off his head) told me NOT to go to the police!! On the plus side, the doormen was exceptionally helpful. I didn't think they had it in them!

A cool little bar, good music and a nice atmosphere.

Although it was rather packed if you manage to get the sofas you could sit there all night listening to the music and chatting away.

Will definitely go back.

The Other reviews are out of date, incorrect as they are for the original dragon bar which Was in leonard street so these reviews are totally irrelevant! Not been to the new london venue yet but if Anything like it's 'sister bar and restaurant' in HastingS I am sure it will be excellent!

If you want to experience the coolest and most laid back bar in Shoreditch you'd do no better than going to The Dragon Bar. The DJs were absolutely fantastic. The Dragon Bar is a place full of people who actually do have the best haircuts on the planet. Recommended.

If you want to experience the most arrogant and pretentious bar staff in existance you'd do no better than going to The Dragon Bar. The ridiculous DJs were an absolute joke. The Dragon Boat is a no go showboat of a place full of people who deeply believe themselves to be the most important haircuts on the planet.


Don't be a muppet, go somewhere else.

I love this bar. The Dragon Bar is very mystical and dark on outside suitable as it located near an Old Church, but colourful arty and vibey inside. I like the graffiti design downstairs at The Dragon Bar. Good atmosphere.
