| The Microbar is, as others have noted, now called the Ink Rooms, and none of the reviews any time after mid-April 2009 apply. Met a number of friends there on the opening night of the new bar - we hadn't realised it was the opening night, or that the bar had changed so much. It's now a dimly lit "bar" - not quite a club (destpite the loud music), and not quite a pub. It has a faintly low-budget feel to it, I'm afraid. The beer selection is much, much reduced, but with the loud music and low light, it's not somewhere you'd go to savour an unusual / interesting beer anymore. You can (as we did) seek refuge downstairs, where it was quiet, but some of us were apparently warned that it was going to be a "disco" in the downstairs area. Nightmare. Anyway, it gets points for still having a few beers. Those will probably dry up - I can't see the new clientele drinking them. NoU - 21 Jun 2009 12:32 |
| Devastated that the good ol local has be replaced by a tacky bar that simply is out of place in the area.. Warm ambience has left with the vast beer selection and been replace by a generic atmosphere InkBarsux - 10 Jun 2009 17:31 |
| As previous reviewer bogr.... the Microbar is closed. The new bar is called Ink Rooms. As it only opened on Friday 5th June not sure how they could honestly comment without a visit. Saying that the use of the word 'rebranding' covers a lot which is not appropriate to review under its old name. The Microbar [a local bar for local people - of all ages] will be sadly missed- it was unique- unfortunately in today's climate it was unable to be profitable- as such it has gone the way of the homogenising progress of provincial takes on gay Shoreditch..

| CLOSED - RIP - Apprently rebranding as a Shoreditch style cocktail bar bogrbrushsw11 - 2 Jun 2009 18:18 |
| This bar has been closed for 'refurbishment' until sometime mid to late May 09. There will be a smaller selection of beers and 'cosmetic' adjustments which means we shall be awaiting the revamp with interest and comment. Debzoid - 29 Apr 2009 17:45 |
