“This Hackney Downs bar is thought to be the next local hangout for East London’s queers and beyond. Think of a similar atmosphere to London’s most ‘exclusive’ (or not) private members club but sexier and a whole lot gayer, with cocktails that aren’t just served out of a tap. We’re talking a line-up of carefully crafted quaffs and non-alcs that actually gets you excited to decipher the menu.

Very nice venue with a good beer and wine selection. We went for Sunday roast and straight away in my top 2 roast in London. The food was truly amazing! I've been told they do burger during the week which I definitely need to try!

Three of us dined here for dinner midweek. Cosy and lively atmosphere and super friendly staff as soon as we entered. Ordered the beef box for 3 which was excellent portion size. Beef had lots of flavour - the sirloin was a thinner cut so ended up slightly overcooked as the meat keeps cooking on the ‘box’. The other cuts were excellent - rump, skirt. Chorizo was juicy and tasty. Fantastic place and all staff super friendly. Highly recommend!
