Lots of straight people pretending to be gay and dressing for attention, which could be fun until you realise how seriously it is all being taken. After having your dress sense evaluated by a sickly looking waif yet to grow out of his new romantic phase you'll find yourself amongst wannabe fashionista cretins whose idea of a fun night out is watching Britains next top model and air kissing to the faux papparazzi.

Reputedly the centre of the nu-rave scene (you know, the one that doesn't actually involve any "rave" music, just bog standard indie like the Klaxons), this pub divides punters in the same way that it exercises a velvet rope door policy after about 9pm.

However, I think this joint might just be a little underrated. Yes, it's poncey, but this is Shoreditch, not Ludlow. I found the nu-romantic staff to be charming and the presence of a killer Belgian beer in Maredsous to be quite welcome. I even found my toes tapping to the music. Cutting edge in a way cities like Manchester can only dream about these days.

Awful! Went here to see my mates band play and the place is not set up for it. Sound was terrible and clientele spent whole set throwing things at the band without any intervention from staff. The drinks here are also very expensive, although there is a fairly good selection.

I went here on Friday night with a mixed sex group to continue celebrating my birthday. I have never encountered such rude door staff who for some reason were only letting three people in at a time, even though once inside the place was half empty. Utterly pointless and put a bit of a dampner on the night.

Not impressed incredibly rude bar staff and door people. There is exclusive and then poor manners the latter of which when properly educated is certainly not something to be proud of. Once inside I found the venue to be half empty and completely lacking in atmosphere. The toilets were dirty and unpleasant. I would not recommend this place and I left shortly afterwards. I am a venue scout for an international company and I certainly would not suggest an event/trip here. Very disappointing.
