| I don't really like Biddle Bros. It has Becks which I do like, but the guy behind the bar is a bit miserable, and insists on playing bad jazz cds which are depressing. And the seats are uncomfortable. And it's often full of the worst type of Hackney people, people who don't go to pubs and have unchangeable opinions and express them loudly. I used to get annoyed when a bit scary wasted people used to stumble in and start advising me on my chess game, but now they don't even cross the threshhold any more, it was better when they did. You can smoke in the yard out the back but it's not great. isa953 - 1 Jun 2008 21:24 |
| Superb bar; good music most nights, stays open later than most. As outlined, the Murder Mile stuff mostly bit the dust after 'Chimes' nightclub did. Snorebens - 22 Jun 2007 12:13 |
| It's not a pub - it's a bar, and one problem is that it has no decent bitter. Otherwise it is very pleasant, very post modern, sofas old transistor radios etc - they have kept the original shop front and added an architectural bit at the back - skylights etc but all very retro, art school. Friendly people there, not at all white when we were there but definitely trendy. Bar man hugely overdid the gin in my gin and tonic - which can't be bad. Definitely an asset to E5 - don't worry about murder mile that was mostly up the road by the Lea Bridge Roundabout and was about assassinating people in traffic jams, this end quite safe from my experience. kpflude - 24 Feb 2007 14:27 |
| Pub is absolutely brilliant for having a nice time accompanied with a great music and exotic interior. It’s a place for meeting interesting people, having a nice drink and leaving it with a big smile on your face. Staff of the bar as well as owners are welcoming and cheerful people. So all you have left to do is go there and see it with your own eyes :)) Cheers. anonymous - 25 Oct 2006 15:22 |
| well, i dare say things have changed a bit. i went there recently, and it was a very mixed crowd, not at all mostly white. it felt very diverse and very welcoming, totally appropriate for the area of hackney. lovely, friendly staff - would recommend it to anyone. darlene - 26 Feb 2006 18:11 |
