    They do Blue Moon on tap so I'm happy! During the week it has a nice vibe and of course they have great burgers atm. Check it out!

    Get one of the amazing Lucky Chip burgers. Also check beer bottles which are a bit better than what they have on tap.

    Burgers are awesome! Much like meat market. Impressive customer service! Burger comes really rare, so make sure you let them know if that's not your thing.

    Poutine available (even catering to vegetarians) from the little restaurant Stacks in Birthdays. £3 drinks before 7.30pm!

    A nice place for mid week drink/food when it's quieter, but still has a good vibe.

    Nice gig venue downstairs. It gets quite crowded when semi-popular bands play. They pour good Guiness.

    Great place for a night out with friends, hosts gigs in basement from time to time. One of the better places on the dalston strip

    Slightly obnoxious hipster joint; but a good place to watch the football/can't really sniff at a pitcher of lager for £12 in such a gentrified area

    This venue is mostly playing indie and electronics. Some cutting edge DJ's getting harboured there as well.

    Always good to meet random people. Birthdays-Nest are the inevitable Dalston combo.

    Nice decor and open shopfront upstairs....but a dissappointingly piss poor sound system downstairs. Needs to be sorted out to be considered a gig venue on any level.

    Brace yourself, its full of bearded, turned-up jeaned, precarious beanie-hatted tossers.

    Painfully trendy and the bar staff downstairs if they weren't there it'd make no difference. Meh
