If modern Shoreditch myth/allegory Nathan Barley was a watering hole he would be The Old Blue Last…read more A cult pub and music venue - predictably perhaps - voted 'The Coolest Pub in the World' by similarly painfully indie music mag NME. Owned by the people who run the frequently polemic Vice Magazine, The Old Blue last is located in a beautiful if derelict Victorian building in London's East End and plays host to regular gigs by up-and-coming and firmly established artists alike. With Amy Winehouse, the Arctic Monkeys and Foals having played The Old Blue Last it's certainly earned its musical chops. For those of us who like our venues a little more polished and with a little less posturing, however, this slightly derelict if achingly hip pub leaves a little to be desired.

So we paid our £10 entrance fee and went in. RUBBISH! There were very few beds, but mostly the place was filled with really drunk people dancing to chart house music. I was livid, and tried to get my money back on the grounds of false advertising, it didn't work and i got physically removed by a bouncer. A total and utter let down, with such a great selection of bars in Shoreditch it's really no necessary to ever go here.

Bedroom Bar, located in the backstreets of Shoreditch, pretty much does what it says on the tin…read more There is a bar and there are beds. The exterior to the place looks fairly shabby but upon entering and climbing the stairs you'll find a nice space consisting of two differently themed rooms each housing it's own bar and beds. As the evening progresses the place fills up with a mixture of trendy shoreditch kids and London professionals but the place still retains a very relaxed atmophere. My main problem with this place is the music, it's bloody awful, consisting of fairly dire funky house and commercial dance. Entrance also feels a little steep at £10, considering this place is definitly more of a bar than a club. I can't escape the feeling that Bedroom Bar will probably be a flash in the pan. Their are a thousand better places nearby to choose from and the only thing packing in the punters right now is the novelty of getting wasted on a bed. Decent but not worth getting out of bed for. (Ha...ha)

Tuesday nights features the in-house band and guests hosting an improvised jam session called Mum's Jam. Wednesdays are claimed by cabaret acts and performance art think Scottee, The-O, type art. Thursday through to Sunday the Macbeth features London's most exciting bands and DJs and is open until 2am. Drinks prices aren't that bad either starting from £2.00 +

There is a nice smoking terrace and in the evenings there is a free BBQ if you get there early. The sound system is absolutely incredible and the line up is always festival-worthy (last time I went I saw Fake Blood, Annie Mac, Diplo and Mowgli for only £5!) A definite must if you like dirty basslines and dirty sweatboxes.

If you're unsure, just look for the guard standing around the corner, that should be the sign you're in the right spot. He'll let you downstairs without a password. We came on a Friday night and it was so packed, it was stuffy and hot. And that was before the DJ showing up! We grabbed a drink and left shorting because it was way too packed (it's not a big spot), the lounge area was reserved so everyone else had to hang at and by the bar. I guess the fun part was finding the spot.

If you are a small group of more than 2, pending on the night, would suggest a reservation, as most tables/seats were taken, and this was on a thursday.
