Any recommendations for “quirky/interesting” bars east of the city in London. Asking on behalf of a friend.

Cheers

Caloo calay in shoreditch is good, looks like a normal bar until you walk through the wardrobe door…

As in, the east part of the City, or, out east of the City?

quirky interesting?

its hipsterville all over these days

was at the Craft Beer co in clerkenwell last night

some great beer, some horrible beer

quite some hangover today tho 🙁

Water Poet in Shoreditch has some nice beers.

East of the City?

Get a vaccination check first.

The Lord Nelson, round the back of the eye hospital….

If they walk on into the badlands of Bethnal Green they could have an awesome pie at The Camel, and drink some fine and strong beers at The Kings Arms and Mother Kelly’s.

Oslo at Hackney East does great food and an excellent range of London beers, including Five Points Brewery, which is only about a quarter of a mile away, so it may be possible to book in a visit as well.
The pub is a doddle to find as its right underneath the station, on your right as you get to the bottom of the ramp down from the platform.

Not visited in ages ,but the Old Blue Last near old street is always worth a visit.
If you’re lucky Mr Weatherall might be in playing a bit of dancehall or rockabilly . 🙂

Not strictly on-topic, but is the Morpeth Arms in Pimlico still any good?
